Quantitative Fitness Analysis Shows That NMD Proteins and Many Other Protein Complexes Suppress or Enhance Distinct Telomere Cap Defects
To better understand telomere biology in budding yeast, we have performed systematic suppressor/enhancer analyses on yeast strains containing a point mutation in the essential telomere capping gene CDC13 (cdc13-1) or containing a null mutation in the DNA damage response and telomere capping gene YKU70 (yku70Δ). We performed Quantitative Fitness Analysis (QFA) on thousands of yeast strains conta...
متن کاملTEN1 is essential for CDC13-mediated telomere capping.
Telomere binding proteins protect chromosome ends from degradation and mask chromosome termini from checkpoint surveillance. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Cdc13 binds single-stranded G-rich telomere repeats, maintaining telomere integrity and length. Two additional proteins, Ten1 and Stn1, interact with Cdc13 but their contributions to telomere integrity are not well defined. Ten1 is known to pr...
متن کاملA Genome-Wide Screen Identifies the Evolutionarily Conserved KEOPS Complex as a Telomere Regulator
Telomere capping is the essential function of telomeres. To identify new genes involved in telomere capping, we carried out a genome-wide screen in Saccharomyces cerevisiae for suppressors of cdc13-1, an allele of the telomere-capping protein Cdc13. We report the identification of five novel suppressors, including the previously uncharacterized gene YML036W, which we name CGI121. Cgi121 is part...
متن کاملPif1- and Exo1-dependent nucleases coordinate checkpoint activation following telomere uncapping
Essential telomere 'capping' proteins act as a safeguard against ageing and cancer by inhibiting the DNA damage response (DDR) and regulating telomerase recruitment, thus distinguishing telomeres from double-strand breaks (DSBs). Uncapped telomeres and unrepaired DSBs can both stimulate a potent DDR, leading to cell cycle arrest and cell death. Using the cdc13-1 mutation to conditionally 'uncap...
متن کاملSurvival and Growth of Yeast without Telomere Capping by Cdc13 in the Absence of Sgs1, Exo1, and Rad9
Maintenance of telomere capping is absolutely essential to the survival of eukaryotic cells. Telomere capping proteins, such as Cdc13 and POT1, are essential for the viability of budding yeast and mammalian cells, respectively. Here we identify, for the first time, three genetic modifications that allow budding yeast cells to survive without telomere capping by Cdc13. We found that simultaneous...
