YKU70

HDF1, NES24, KU70, L000000759, YMR284W
Subunit of the telomeric Ku complex (Yku70p-Yku80p); involved in telomere length maintenance, structure and telomere position effect; required for localization of telomerase ribonucleoprotein to nucleus via interaction with the TLC1 guide RNA; relocates to sites of double-strand cleavage to promote nonhomologous end joining during DSB repair
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RIF1

DNA-binding protein RIF1, L000001639, YBR275C
Protein that binds to the Rap1p C-terminus; acts synergistically with Rif2p to help control telomere length and establish telomeric silencing; contributes to resection of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs); deletion results in telomere elongation

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Shelterin-like proteins and Yku inhibit nucleolytic processing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae telomeres.

Bonetti D, Clerici M, Anbalagan S, Martina M, Lucchini G, Longhese MP

Eukaryotic cells distinguish their chromosome ends from accidental DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) by packaging them into protective structures called telomeres that prevent DNA repair/recombination activities. Here we investigate the role of key telomeric proteins in protecting budding yeast telomeres from degradation. We show that the Saccharomyces cerevisiae shelterin-like proteins Rif1, Rif2, and Rap1 inhibit nucleolytic processing at both de novo ... [more]
