Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Role of Tea1p, Tea3p and Pom1p in the determination of cell ends in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Niccoli T, Arellano M, Nurse P

Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells are rod-shaped and grow along a single axis from their two ends. Microtubules extend from the cell centre terminating at the cell ends. The ERM(ezrin/radixin/moesin)-like proteins Tea1p and Tea3p, and the Dyrk-like kinase Pom1p are cell end markers involved in the regulation of growth and microtubular dynamics at the cell ends. We have analysed the relative contribution ... [more]

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.
