MEC1

ESR1, RAD31, SAD3, protein kinase MEC1, L000000586, S000029404, S000007656, YBR136W
Genome integrity checkpoint protein and PI kinase superfamily member; Mec1p and Dun1p function in same pathway to regulate dNTP pools and telomere length; signal transducer required for cell cycle arrest and transcriptional responses to damaged or unreplicated DNA; facilitates replication fork progression and regulates P-body formation under replication stress; promotes interhomolog recombination by phosphorylating Hop1p; associates with shortened, dysfunctional telomeres
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

POL1

CDC17, CRT5, HPR3, DNA-directed DNA polymerase alpha catalytic subunit POL1, L000000257, YNL102W
Catalytic subunit of the DNA polymerase I alpha-primase complex; required for the initiation of DNA replication during mitotic DNA synthesis and premeiotic DNA synthesis
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Stn1 supports Mec1 function in protecting stalled replication forks from degradation.

Casari E, Corallo F, Milani LE, Tisi R, Longhese MP

Replication stress threatens genome integrity by exposing replication forks to nucleolytic degradation. In both yeast and humans, the checkpoint kinases Mec1 and Rad53 limit deleterious single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), yet the protective mechanisms remain incompletely defined. Here, we identify a role for the CST subunit Stn1 in cooperating with Mec1 to restrain ssDNA formation under nucleotide depletion. A gain-of-function allele (stn1-L60F) ... [more]

Negative Genetic

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
