Dosage Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Calcineurin is implicated in the regulation of the septation initiation network in fission yeast.

Lu Y, Sugiura R, Yada T, Cheng H, Sio SO, Shuntoh H, Kuno T

BACKGROUND: In fission yeast, calcineurin has been implicated in cytokinesis because calcineurin-deleted cells form multiple septa and cell separation is impeded. However, this mechanism remains unclear. RESULTS: We screened for mutations that confer synthetic lethality with calcineurin deletion and isolated a mutant, its 10-1/cdc7-i10, a novel allele of the cdc7+ gene involved in the septation initiation network (SIN). The mutation ... [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.
