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

FKH2

forkhead family transcription factor FKH2, L000002608, YNL068C
Forkhead family transcription factor; plays a major role in the expression of G2/M phase genes; positively regulates transcriptional elongation; facilitates clustering and activation of early-firing replication origins; negative role in chromatin silencing at HML and HMR; substrate of the Cdc28p/Clb5p kinase; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia; FKH2 has a paralog, FKH1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Negative Genetic

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.

Quantitative Fitness Analysis Shows That NMD Proteins and Many Other Protein Complexes Suppress or Enhance Distinct Telomere Cap Defects.

To better understand telomere biology in budding yeast, we have performed systematic suppressor/enhancer analyses on yeast strains containing a point mutation in the essential telomere capping gene CDC13 (cdc13-1) or containing a null mutation in the DNA damage response and telomere capping gene YKU70 (yku70Δ). We performed Quantitative Fitness Analysis (QFA) on thousands of yeast strains containing mutations affecting telomere-capping ... [more]
