High impact information on RTT101

Whereas null mutants of CUL3 appear normal, yeast cells lacking CUL8 have a slower growth rate and are delayed in their progress through anaphase [1].
Deletion of the RAD9 gene suppressed the anaphase delay phenotype of cul8delta, suggesting that loss of Cul8 function may compromise genomic integrity [1].
A role for Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cul8 ubiquitin ligase in proper anaphase progression [1].
These results indicate that in addition to the anaphase promoting complex, mitotic progression may involve another E3 ubiquitin ligase mediated by Cul8 protein [1].
Mutations in RTT101 and NUT2 dramatically stimulated Ty1 integration upstream of tRNA genes [2].

Biological context of RTT101

MMS22 is epistatic with RTT101 and RTT107, genes that encode its protein binding partners [3].
