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

RAD51

MUT5, recombinase RAD51, L000001571, YER095W
Strand exchange protein; forms a helical filament with DNA that searches for homology; involved in the recombinational repair of double-strand breaks in DNA during vegetative growth and meiosis; homolog of Dmc1p and bacterial RecA protein
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.

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]
