SAE2

COM1, ssDNA endodeoxyribonuclease SAE2, L000002892, YGL175C
Endonuclease required for telomere elongation; also required for telomeric 5' C-rich strand resection; involved in processing hairpin DNA structures with MRX complex; involved in double-strand break repair; required for normal resistance to DNA-damaging agents; exists in form of inactive oligomers that are transiently released into smaller active units by a series of phosphorylations; DNA damage triggers removal of Sae2p ensuring that active Sae2p is present only transiently
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RAD53

LSD1, MEC2, SPK1, serine/threonine/tyrosine protein kinase RAD53, L000001573, YPL153C
DNA damage response protein kinase; required for cell-cycle arrest in response to DNA damage; activated by trans autophosphorylation when interacting with hyperphosphorylated Rad9p; also interacts with ARS1 and plays a role in initiation of DNA replication; activates the downstream kinase Dun1p; differentially senses mtDNA depletion and mitochondrial ROS; required for regulation of copper genes in response to DNA-damaging agents; relocalizes to cytosol in response to hyoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain mutated or deleted for another gene.

Publication

Sae2 integrates CDK and checkpoint phosphorylation to coordinate MRX cleavage with checkpoint attenuation.

Casari E, Gnugnoli M, Pizzul P, Tisi R, Longhese MP

Yeast Sae2 plays a dual role in the DNA damage response by suppressing Rad53 activation and stimulating DNA end clipping via the MRX complex. Using AlphaFold3-based modeling and mutational analysis, here we show that Mec1/Tel1-dependent phosphorylation of Sae2 at T90 or T279 is sufficient to restrain Rad9-Rad53 interaction and Rad53 kinase activation. Cells expressing a non-phosphorylatable Sae2 double mutant (T90A ... [more]
