NGS1, RAD58, XRS4, MRX complex nuclease subunit, L000004732, L000001149, L000004275, YMR224C
Nuclease subunit of the MRX complex with Rad50p and Xrs2p; complex functions in repair of DNA double-strand breaks and in telomere stability; Mre11p associates with Ser/Thr-rich ORFs in premeiotic phase; nuclease activity required for MRX function; widely conserved; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress

HRT1

HRT2, RBX1, ROC1, SCF ubiquitin ligase complex subunit HRT1, L000004443, YOL133W
RING-H2 domain core subunit of multiple ubiquitin ligase complexes; subunit of Skp1-Cullin-F-box (SCF) that tethers the Cdc34p (E2) and Cdc53p (cullin) SCF subunits, and is required for degradation of Gic2p, Far1p, Sic1p and Cln2p; subunit of the Rtt101p-Mms1p-Mms22p ubiquitin ligase that stabilizes replication forks after DNA lesions; subunit of the Cul3p-Elc1p-Ela1p ubiquitin ligase involved in Rpb1p degradation as part of transcription-coupled repair
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.

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]
