SEN1/YLR430W Summary Help

Standard Name SEN1 1
Systematic Name YLR430W
Alias CIK3 , NRD2
Feature Type ORF, Verified
Description Presumed helicase and subunit of the Nrd1 complex (Nrd1p-Nab3p-Sen1p); complex interacts with the exosome to mediate 3' end formation of some mRNAs, snRNAs, snoRNAs, and CUTs; has a separate role in coordinating DNA replication with transcription, by associating with moving replication forks and preventing errors that occur when forks encounter transcribed regions; homolog of Senataxin, which is implicated in Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia 2 and a dominant form of ALS (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and see Summary Paragraph)
Name Description Splicing ENdonuclease 1

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for SEN1

SEN1 encodes a Pol II transcriptional termination factor that is also involved in the maturation of noncoding RNAs (6, 2). Based on sequence similarity to and functional characterization of the S. pombe ortholog (also called sen1), S. cerevisiae Sen1p is presumed to be a 5'-3' ATP-dependent RNA/DNA helicase, although this activity has not been directly shown in S. cerevisiae (8, 9 and references therein). Sen1p localizes to the nucleus in a granular pattern (10). SEN1 is an essential gene but loss of function mutations in Sen1p cause altered accumulation of tRNA and ribosomal RNA precursors, mislocalization of core snoRNPs, and 3'-extension and transcriptional read-through of some snoRNAs, snRNAs, and short protein-encoding mRNAs (10, 9 and references therein). Mutations in the human homolog Senataxin (SETX), result in the progressive neurological diseases Ataxia-Oculomotor Apraxia 2 (AOA2) and juvenile Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis 4 (ALS4) (5 and references therein).
