MAD1

coiled-coil domain-containing protein MAD1, L000000974, YGL086W
Coiled-coil protein involved in spindle-assembly checkpoint; required for inhibition of karyopherin/importin Pse1p (aka Kap121p) upon spindle assembly checkpoint arrest; phosphorylated by Mps1p upon checkpoint activation which leads to inhibition of anaphase promoting complex activity; forms a complex with Mad2p; gene dosage imbalance between MAD1 and MAD2 leads to chromosome instability
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

HSF1

EXA3, MAS3, stress-responsive transcription factor HSF1, L000000814, YGL073W
Trimeric heat shock transcription factor; activates multiple genes in response to highly diverse stresses, including hyperthermia; recognizes variable heat shock elements (HSEs) consisting of inverted NGAAN repeats; monitors translational status of cell at the ribosome through an RQC (Ribosomal Quality Control)-mediated translation-stress signal; involved in diauxic shift; posttranslationally regulated

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]
