TAF9

TAF17, TATA-binding protein-associated factor TAF9, TafII17, L000003459, YMR236W
Subunit (17 kDa) of TFIID and SAGA complexes; involved in RNA polymerase II transcription initiation and in chromatin modification, similar to histone H3
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

CDC7

LSD6, SAS1, serine/threonine protein kinase CDC7, L000000247, YDL017W
DDK (Dbf4-dependent kinase) catalytic subunit; required for origin firing and replication fork progression in mitotic S phase through phosphorylation of Mcm2-7p complexes and Cdc45p; kinase activity correlates with cyclical DBF4 expression; required for pre-meiotic DNA replication, meiotic DSB formation, recruitment of the monopolin complex to kinetochores during meiosis I and as a gene-specific regulator of the meiosis-specific transcription factor Ndt80p
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

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

TFIID and Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase functions probed by genome-wide synthetic genetic array analysis using a Saccharomyces cerevisiae taf9-ts allele.

Milgrom E, West RW, Gao C, Shen WC

TAF9 is a TATA-binding protein associated factor (TAF) conserved from yeast to humans and shared by two transcription coactivator complexes, TFIID and SAGA. The essentiality of the TAFs has made it difficult to ascertain their roles in TFIID and SAGA function. Here we performed a genomic synthetic genetic array analysis using a temperature-sensitive allele of TAF9 as a query. Results ... [more]

Throughput

  • Low Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • phenotype: inviable (APO:0000112)

Additional Notes

  • Genetic interactions were scored as strong when growth defects were observed at both 30 and 34 degrees Celsius, and scored as conditional (heat sensitivity) when growth defects were observed at 34 degrees, but not at 30 degrees.
  • Synthetic lethal interaction identified via a conventional ade2/ade3 synthetic lethal screen.
