Dosage Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Publication

Mutations that are synthetically lethal with a gas1Delta allele cause defects in the cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Tomishige N, Noda Y, Adachi H, Shimoi H, Takatsuki A, Yoda K

The GAS1-related genes of fungi encode GPI-anchored proteins with beta-1,3-glucanosyltransferase activity. Loss of this activity results in defects in the assembly of the cell wall. We isolated mutants that show a synthetic defect when combined with a gas1Delta allele in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and identified nine wild-type genes that rescue this defect. The indispensability of BIG1 and KRE6 for the viability ... [more]

Synthetic Lethality

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