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.

Yaf9 is one of three proteins in budding yeast containing a YEATS domain. We show that Yaf9 is part of a large complex and that it coprecipitates with three known subunits of the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase. Although Esa1, the catalytic subunit of NuA4, is essential for viability, we found that yaf9 Delta mutants are viable but hypersensitive to microtubule depolymerizing ... [more]
