TUB4

gamma-tubulin, L000002751, YLR212C
Gamma-tubulin; involved in nucleating microtubules from both the cytoplasmic and nuclear faces of the spindle pole body; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress

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.

Gamma-tubulin is required for proper recruitment and assembly of Kar9-Bim1 complexes in budding yeast.

Cuschieri L, Miller R, Vogel J

Microtubule plus-end-interacting proteins (+TIPs) promote the dynamic interactions between the plus ends (+ends) of astral microtubules and cortical actin that are required for preanaphase spindle positioning. Paradoxically, +TIPs such as the EB1 orthologue Bim1 and Kar9 also associate with spindle pole bodies (SPBs), the centrosome equivalent in budding yeast. Here, we show that deletion of four C-terminal residues of the ... [more]
