Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Essential Domains of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad8 Required for DNA Damage Response.

Ding L, Forsburg SL

Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rad8 is a conserved protein homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Rad5 and human HLTF that is required for error-free post-replication repair by contributing to polyubiquitylation of PCNA. It has three conserved domains: an E3 ubiquitin ligase motif, a SNF2-family helicase domain, and a family-specific HIRAN domain. Data from humans and budding yeast suggest that helicase activity contributes to replication ... [more]
