GIC2

L000003314, YDR309C
Redundant rho-like GTPase Cdc42p effector; involved in initiation of budding and cellular polarization; interacts with Cdc42p via the Cdc42/Rac-interactive binding (CRIB) domain and with PI(4,5)P2 via a polybasic region; GIC2 has a paralog, GIC1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

VHS2

YIL135C
Regulator of septin dynamics; involved in the regulation of septin dynamics at bud neck after mitotic entry, likely by stabilizing septin structure; regulated at post-translational level by cell cycle dependent phosphorylation; likely phosphorylated by Cdc28p and dephosphorylated by Cdc14p before cytokinesis; high-copy suppressor of synthetic lethality of sis2 sit4 double mutant; VHS2 has a paralog, MLF3, that arose from the whole genome duplication

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.

Four novel suppressors of gic1 gic2 and their roles in cytokinesis and polarized cell growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Gandhi M, Goode BL, Chan CS

Gic1 and Gic2 are two Cdc42/Rac interactive binding (CRIB) domain-containing effectors of Cdc42-GTPase that promote polarized cell growth in S. cerevisiae. To identify novel genes that functionally interact with Gic1 and Gic2, we screened for high-copy suppressors of a gic1 gic2 temperature-sensitive strain. We identified two pairs of structurally related genes, SKG6-TOS2 and VHS2-MLF3. These genes have been implicated in ... [more]
