ELG1

RTT110, S000007438, YOR144C
Subunit of an alternative replication factor C complex; important for DNA replication and genome integrity; suppresses spontaneous DNA damage; involved in homologous recombination-mediated repair and telomere homeostasis; required for PCNA (Pol30p) unloading during DNA replication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

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)

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.

A replication stress safeguard provided by the Elg1 Replication Factor C-like complex.

Bose P, Sau S

The Elg1 Replication Factor C-like complex (Elg1-RLC) that functions as a proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) unloader, is known to be involved in multiple DNA replication/repair-related activities from yeast to humans. By exploiting disassembly prone PCNA mutants, we reveal that Elg1-RLC uses its PCNA unloading activity to counter the DNA-alkylating agent methyl-methanesulfonate (MMS)-mediated slow progression of replication forks (RFs). Despite ... [more]
