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.

Fission yeast WD-repeat protein pop1 regulates genome ploidy through ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated degradation of the CDK inhibitor Rum1 and the S-phase initiator Cdc18.

Kominami K, Toda T

In fission yeast, maintenance of genome ploidy is controlled by at least two mechanisms. One operates through the Cdc2/Cdc13 kinase, which also involves the CDK inhibitor Rum1, and the other through the S-phase regulator Cdc18. By screening for sterile mutants that show increased ploidy, we have identified a new gene, pop1+, in mutants that become polyploid. The pop1 mutation shows ... [more]
