Synthetic Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain mutated or deleted for another gene.

Impaired T-cell development in the absence of Vav1 and Itk.

Raberger J, Boucheron N, Sakaguchi S, Penninger JM, Ellmeier W

Vav1 and the Tec family kinase Itk act in similar T-cell activation pathways. Both molecules interact with members of the Cbl family of E3 ubiquitin ligases, and signaling defects in Vav1(-/-) T cells are rescued upon deletion of Cbl-b. In this study we investigate the relation between Itk and Cbl-b or Vav1 by generating Itk/Cbl-b and Itk/Vav1 double-deficient mice. Deletion ... [more]
