However, the mechanism of Sen1 function is not understood. We created a plasmid-based genetic system to study yeast Sen1in vivo. Using this system, we show that (1) the minimal essential region of Sen1 corresponds to the helicase domain and one of two flanking nuclear localization sequences; (2) a previously isolated terminator readthrough mutation in the Sen1 helicase domain, E1597K, is rescued by a second mutation designed to restore a salt bridge within the first RecA domain; and (3) the human ortholog of yeast Sen1, Senataxin, cannot functionally replace Sen1 in yeast. Guided by sequence homology between the conserved helicase domains of Sen1 and Senataxin, we tested the effects of 13 missense mutations that cosegregate with the inherited disorder ataxia with oculomotor apraxia type 2 on Sen1 function. Ten of the disease mutations resulted in transcription readthrough of at least one of three Sen1-dependent termination elements tested. Our genetic system will facilitate the further investigation of structure\u2013function relationships in yeast Sen1 and its orthologs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1534\/genetics.114.167585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,13]],"date-time":"2014-08-13T13:38:28Z","timestamp":1407937108000},"page":"577-590","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["<i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae<\/i> Sen1 as a Model for the Study of Mutations in Human Senataxin That Elicit Cerebellar Ataxia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"198","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrika","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaitlin E","family":"Sundling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A","family":"Brow","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1532"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022011301121331800_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"835","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2012.09.041","article-title":"Senataxin associates with replication forks to protect fork integrity across RNA-Polymerase-II-transcribed genes.","volume":"151","author":"Alzu","year":"2012","journal-title":"Cell"},{"key":"2022011301121331800_bib2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"641","DOI":"10.1016\/j.molcel.2006.02.005","article-title":"Regulation of yeast NRD1 expression by premature transcription termination.","volume":"21","author":"Arigo","year":"2006","journal-title":"Mol.
