SCM3

L000003281, YDL139C
Nonhistone component of centromeric chromatin; binds to histone H3 variant, Cse4p, and recruits it to centromeres; involved in the assembly and maintenance of Cse4-H4 at centromeres; required for kinetochore assembly and G2/M progression; may protect Cse4p from ubiquitylation; homolog of mammalian HJURP
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MCM16

L000003997, YPR046W
Component of the Ctf19 complex and the COMA subcomplex; involved in kinetochore-microtubule mediated chromosome segregation; binds to centromere DNA; orthologous to human centromere constitutive-associated network (CCAN) subunit CENP-H and fission yeast fta3

Synthetic Growth Defect

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

Misregulation of Scm3p/HJURP Causes Chromosome Instability in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Human Cells.

Mishra PK, Au WC, Choy JS, Kuich PH, Baker RE, Foltz DR, Basrai MA

The kinetochore (centromeric DNA and associated proteins) is a key determinant for high fidelity chromosome transmission. Evolutionarily conserved Scm3p is an essential component of centromeric chromatin and is required for assembly and function of kinetochores in humans, fission yeast, and budding yeast. Overexpression of HJURP, the mammalian homolog of budding yeast Scm3p, has been observed in lung and breast cancers ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • Overexpression of Scm3 is causes synthetic growth defects in the absence of mcm16 due to premature separation of sister chromatids
