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.

Cohesin mediates sister chromatid cohesion which is essential for chromosome segregation and repair. Sister chromatid cohesion requires an acetyl-transferase (Eso1 in fission yeast) counteracting Wpl1, promoting cohesin release from DNA We report here that Wpl1 anti-cohesion function includes an additional mechanism. A genetic screen uncovered that Protein Phosphatase 4 (PP4) mutants allowed cell survival in the complete absence of Eso1. ... [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.
