SEN1

CIK3, NRD2, putative DNA/RNA helicase SEN1, L000001862, YLR430W
Presumed helicase and subunit of the Nrd1 complex (Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p); complex interacts with the exosome to mediate 3' end formation of some mRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and CUTs; has a separate role in coordinating DNA replication with transcription, by associating with moving replication forks and preventing errors that occur when forks encounter transcribed regions; homolog of Senataxin, which is implicated in Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia 2 and a dominant form of ALS
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

RAD50

MRX complex DNA-binding subunit, L000001570, YNL250W
Subunit of MRX complex with Mre11p and Xrs2p; complex is involved in processing double-strand DNA breaks in vegetative cells, initiation of meiotic DSBs, telomere maintenance, and nonhomologous end joining; forms nuclear foci upon DNA replication stress
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.

Publication

Senataxin associates with replication forks to protect fork integrity across RNA-polymerase-II-transcribed genes.

Transcription hinders replication fork progression and stability. The ATR checkpoint and specialized DNA helicases assist DNA synthesis across transcription units to protect genome integrity. Combining genomic and genetic approaches together with the analysis of replication intermediates, we searched for factors coordinating replication with transcription. We show that the Sen1/Senataxin DNA/RNA helicase associates with forks, promoting their progression across RNA polymerase II ... [more]
