UME1

WTM3, L000003500, YPL139C
Component of both the Rpd3S and Rpd3L histone deacetylase complexes; negative regulator of meiosis; required for repression of a subset of meiotic genes during vegetative growth, binding of histone deacetylase Rpd3p required for activity, contains a NEE box and a WD repeat motif; homologous with Wtm1p; UME1 has a paralog, WTM2, that arose from the whole genome duplication

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.

Alterations in DNA replication and histone levels promote histone gene amplification in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Libuda DE, Winston F

Gene amplification, a process that increases the copy number of a gene or a genomic region to two or more, is utilized by many organisms in response to environmental stress or decreased levels of a gene product. Our previous studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae identified the amplification of a histone H2A-H2B gene pair, HTA2-HTB2, in response to the deletion of the ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • A synthetic genetic array (SGA) analysis was performed to identify deletions that either increase or decrease/eliminate the viability of an hta1 htb1 double mutant. Since HTA2 -HTB2 gene amplification is required for survival in an hta1 htb1 double mutant background, the level of survival of the triple mutant served as an indicator of the frequency of HTA2-HTB2 amplification.
