Sequence identity (%)

YJR075W HOC1

Alpha-1,6-mannosyltransferase involved in cell wall mannan biosynthesis; subunit of a Golgi-localized complex that also contains Anp1p, Mnn9p, Mnn11p, and Mnn10p; identified as a suppressor of a cell lysis sensitive pkc1-371 allele

YGL038C OCH1

Mannosyltransferase of the cis-Golgi apparatus, initiates the polymannose outer chain elongation of N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins

2E-40

27

YGR188C BUB1

Protein kinase that forms a complex with Mad1p and Bub3p that is crucial in the checkpoint mechanism required to prevent cell cycle progression into anaphase in the presence of spindle damage, associates with centromere DNA via Skp1p

YJL013C MAD3

Component of the spindle-assembly checkpoint complex, which delays the onset of anaphase in cells with defects in mitotic spindle assembly; interacts physically with the spindle checkpoint proteins Bub3p and Mad2p

2E-50

35

YHR119W SET1

Histone methyltransferase, subunit of the COMPASS (Set1C) complex which methylates histone H3 on lysine 4; required in transcriptional silencing near telomeres and at the silent mating type loci; contains a SET domain

YJL168C SET2

Histone methyltransferase with a role in transcriptional elongation, methylates a lysine residue of histone H3; associates with the C-terminal domain of Rpo21p; histone methylation activity is regulated by phosphorylation status of Rpo21p

2E-16

30

YDR528W HLR1

Protein involved in regulation of cell wall composition and integrity and response to osmotic stress; overproduction suppresses a lysis sensitive PKC mutation; similar to Lre1p, which functions antagonistically to protein kinase A

YCL051W LRE1

Protein involved in control of cell wall structure and stress response; inhibits Cbk1p protein kinase activity; overproduction confers resistance to cell-wall degrading enzymes

5E-34

34

YJR131W MNS1

Alpha-1,2-mannosidase involved in ER quality control; catalyzes the removal of one mannose residue from Man9GlcNAc to produce a single isomer of Man8GlcNAc in N-linked oligosaccharide biosynthesis; integral to ER membrane

YHR204W MNL1

Alpha mannosidase-like protein of the endoplasmic reticulum required for degradation of glycoproteins but not for processing of N-linked oligosaccharides

9E-25

25

YDR420W HKR1

Serine/threonine rich cell surface protein that contains an EF hand motif; involved in the regulation of cell wall beta-1,3 glucan synthesis and bud site selection; overexpression confers resistance to Hansenula mrakii killer toxin, HM-1

YGR014W MSB2

Mucin family member at the head of the Cdc42p- and MAP kinase-dependent filamentous growth signaling pathway; also functions as an osmosensor in parallel to the Sho1p-mediated pathway; potential Cdc28p substrate

6E-12

29

YML061C PIF1

DNA helicase involved in telomere formation and elongation; acts as a catalytic inhibitor of telomerase; also plays a role in repair and recombination of mitochondrial DNA

YHR031C RRM3

DNA helicase involved in rDNA replication and Ty1 transposition; relieves replication fork pauses at telomeric regions; structurally and functionally related to Pif1p

5E-102

40

YJL092W HPR5

DNA helicase and DNA-dependent ATPase involved in DNA repair, required for proper timing of commitment to meiotic recombination and the transition from Meiosis I to Meiosis II; potential Cdc28p substrate

YOL095C HMI1

Mitochondrial inner membrane localized ATP-dependent DNA helicase, required for the maintenance of the mitochondrial genome; not required for mitochondrial transcription; has homology to E. coli helicase uvrD

2E-18

  1. See Table 3 for description. Tables 3 and 4 list the functions of a subset of buffering and all eight non-buffering gene pairs, respectively, with one pair per row. The descriptions of functions are taken from SGD [66]. Buffering genes (Table 3) are more often described as having identical functions than non-buffering genes (this table).
