The response to single-gene duplication implicates translation as a key vulnerability in aneuploid yeast.

ABSTRACT: Aneuploidy produces myriad consequences in health and disease, yet models of the deleterious effects of chromosome amplification are still widely debated. To distinguish the molecular determinants of aneuploidy stress, we measured the effects of duplicating individual genes in cells with different chromosome duplications, in wild-type cells (SSD1+) and cells sensitized to aneuploidy by deletion of RNA-binding protein Ssd1 (ssd1Δ). We identified gene duplications that are nearly neutral in wild-type euploid cells but significantly deleterious in euploids lacking SSD1 or in SSD1+ aneuploid cells with different chromosome duplications. Several of the most deleterious genes are linked to translation. In contrast, duplication of other genes benefits multiple ssd1Δ aneuploids over controls, and
