BAIT

ASK1

YKL052C
Essential subunit of the Dam1 complex (aka DASH complex); couples kinetochores to the force produced by MT depolymerization thereby aiding in chromosome segregation; phosphorylated during the cell cycle by cyclin-dependent kinases; sumoylated in an Mms21p-dependent manner; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

CIK1

L000000335, YMR198W
Kinesin-associated protein; required for both karyogamy and mitotic spindle organization, interacts stably and specifically with Kar3p and may function to target this kinesin to a specific cellular role; locus encodes a long and short transcript with differing functions; CIK1 has a paralog, VIK1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
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.

Loss of function of the cik1/kar3 motor complex results in chromosomes with syntelic attachment that are sensed by the tension checkpoint.

Jin F, Liu H, Li P, Yu HG, Wang Y

The attachment of sister kinetochores by microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles establishes chromosome bipolar attachment, which generates tension on chromosomes and is essential for sister-chromatid segregation. Syntelic attachment occurs when both sister kinetochores are attached by microtubules from the same spindle pole and this attachment is unable to generate tension on chromosomes, but a reliable method to induce syntelic ...
