BAIT

MRC1

YCL060C, chromatin-modulating protein MRC1, YCL061C
S-phase checkpoint protein required for DNA replication; couples DNA helicase and DNA polymerase; interacts with and stabilizes Pol2p at stalled replication forks during stress, where it forms a pausing complex with Tof1p and is phosphorylated by Mec1p; with Hog1p defines a novel S-phase checkpoint that permits eukaryotic cells to prevent conflicts between DNA replication and transcription; protects uncapped telomeres; degradation via Dia2p help cells resume cell cycle
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

PIF1

TST1, DNA helicase PIF1, L000001435, YML061C
DNA helicase, potent G-quadruplex DNA binder/unwinder; possesses strand annealing activity; promotes DNA synthesis during break-induced replication; important for crossover recombination; translation from different start sites produces mitochondrial and nuclear forms; nuclear form is a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase; mitochondrial form involved in DNA repair and recombination; mutations affect Zn, Fe homeostasis; regulated by Rad53p-dependent phosphorylation in rho0 cells
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes a growth defect in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Telomerase is essential to alleviate pif1-induced replication stress at telomeres.

Pif1, an evolutionarily conserved helicase, negatively regulates telomere length by removing telomerase from chromosome ends. Pif1 has also been implicated in DNA replication processes such as Okazaki fragment maturation and replication fork pausing. We find that overexpression of Saccharomyces cervisiae PIF1 results in dose-dependent growth inhibition. Strong overexpression causes relocalization of the DNA damage response factors Rfa1 and Mre11 into ... [more]

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.
