Abstract


Strand exchange protein 1 (Sep1) (also referred to as exoribonuclease I [Xrn1]) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been implicated in DNA recombination, RNA turnover, karyogamy, and G4 DNA pairing among other disparate cellular processes. Using a genetic approach to study the role of SEP1/XRN1 in mitotic yeast cells, we identified mutations in the genes superkiller 2 (SKI2) and superkiller 3 (SKI3) as synthetically lethal with an sep1 null mutation. The SKI genes are thought to comprise an intracellular antiviral system controlling the expression of killer toxin from double-stranded RNA virus found in many yeast strains. However, the lethality of sep1 ski2 and sep1 ski3 mutants was independent of the L-A and M viruses, suggesting that the SKI genes act in a general cellular process in addition to virus control. We propose that Sep1/Xrn1 and Ski2 both act to block translation on transcripts targeted for degradation. Using a temperature-sensitive allele of SEP1/XRN1, we show that double mutants display a synthetic cell cycle arrest in late G1 at Start.
