SGS1

ATP-dependent DNA helicase SGS1, L000001877, YMR190C
RecQ family nucleolar DNA helicase; role in genome integrity maintenance; regulates chromosome synapsis and meiotic joint molecule/crossover formation; stimulates DNA catenation/decatenation activity of Top3p; potential repressor of a subset of rapamycin responsive genes; rapidly lost in response to rapamycin in Rrd1p-dependent manner; similar to human BLM and WRN proteins implicated in Bloom and Werner syndromes; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

LAS1

L000000931, YKR063C
Protein required for pre-rRNA processing at both ends of ITS2; functions with Grc3p in a conserved mechanism to modulate rRNA processing and ribosome biogenesis; may coordinate the action of the Rat1p-Rai1p exoRNAse; required for the G1/S cell cycle transition; human ortholog is Las1L; mutants require the SSD1-v allele for viability
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]
