Systematic, RNA-interference-mediated identification of mus-101 modifier genes in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract:

:The Mus101 family of chromosomal proteins, identified initially in Drosophila, is widely conserved and has been shown to function in a variety of DNA metabolic processes. Such functions include DNA replication, DNA damage repair, postreplication repair, damage checkpoint activation, chromosome stability, and chromosome condensation. Despite its conservation and widespread involvement in chromosome biogenesis, very little is known about how Mus101 is regulated and what other proteins are required for Mus101 to exert its functions. To learn more about Mus101, we have initiated an analysis of the protein in C. elegans. Here, we show that C. elegans mus-101 is an essential gene, that it is required for DNA replication, and that it also plays an important role in the DNA damage response. Furthermore, we use RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated reverse genetics to screen for genes that modify a mus-101 partial loss-of-function RNAi phenotype. Using a systematic approach toward modifier gene discovery, we have found five chromosome I genes that modify the mus-101 RNAi phenotype, and we go on to show that one of them encodes an E3 SUMO ligase that promotes SUMO modification of MUS-101 in vitro. These results expand our understanding of MUS-101 regulation and show that genetic interactions can be uncovered using screening strategies that rely solely on RNAi.
