SEN1

CIK3, NRD2, putative DNA/RNA helicase SEN1, L000001862, YLR430W
Presumed helicase and subunit of the Nrd1 complex (Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p); complex interacts with the exosome to mediate 3' end formation of some mRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and CUTs; has a separate role in coordinating DNA replication with transcription, by associating with moving replication forks and preventing errors that occur when forks encounter transcribed regions; homolog of Senataxin, which is implicated in Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia 2 and a dominant form of ALS
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RAD50

MRX complex DNA-binding subunit, L000001570, YNL250W
Subunit of MRX complex with Mre11p and Xrs2p; complex is involved in processing double-strand DNA breaks in vegetative cells, initiation of meiotic DSBs, telomere maintenance, and nonhomologous end joining; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress
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.

Sen1 of S. cerevisiae is a known component of the NRD complex implicated in transcription termination of nonpolyadenylated as well as some polyadenylated RNA polymerase II transcripts. We now show that Sen1 helicase possesses a wider function by restricting the occurrence of RNA:DNA hybrids that may naturally form during transcription, when nascent RNA hybridizes to DNA prior to its packaging into ...
