ELG1

RTT110, S000007438, YOR144C
Subunit of an alternative replication factor C complex; important for DNA replication and genome integrity; suppresses spontaneous DNA damage; involved in homologous recombination-mediated repair and telomere homeostasis; required for PCNA (Pol30p) unloading during DNA replication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MGE1

YGE1, GRPE, L000000729, L000002638, L000001101, YOR232W
Mitochondrial matrix cochaperone; nucleotide release factor for Ssc1p in protein translocation and folding; also acts as cochaperone for Ssq1p in folding of Fe-S cluster proteins; acts as oxidative sensor to regulate mitochondrial Ssc1p; in presence of oxidative stress, dimeric Mge1p becomes a monomer and unable to regulate Ssc1p function; homolog of E. coli GrpE and human Mge1 (GRPEL1), which also responds to oxidative stress

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.

The concept of synthetic lethality has gained popularity as a rational guide for predicting chemotherapeutic targets based on negative genetic interactions between tumor-specific somatic mutations and a second-site target gene. One hallmark of most cancers that can be exploited by chemotherapies is chromosome instability (CIN). Because chromosome replication, maintenance, and segregation represent conserved and cell-essential processes, they can be modeled ... [more]
