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.

A novel genetic screen identifies checkpoint-defective alleles of Schizosaccharomyces pombe chk1.

Wan S, Walworth NC

The protein kinase Chk1 is required in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe for delaying cell cycle progression in response to DNA damage. Chk1 becomes phosphorylated when DNA is damaged by a variety of agents, including the anti-tumor drug camptothecin. To further characterize the behavior of Chk1 in response to DNA damage, we used PCR-based mutagenesis of the chk1 gene coupled ... [more]

Biochemical Activity
Biochemical Activity

An interaction is inferred from the biochemical effect of one protein upon another, for example, GTP-GDP exchange activity or phosphorylation of a substrate by a kinase. The bait protein executes the activity on the substrate hit protein. A Modification value is recorded for interactions of this type with the possible values Phosphorylation, Ubiquitination, Sumoylation, Dephosphorylation, Methylation, Prenylation, Acetylation, Deubiquitination, Proteolytic Processing, Glucosylation, Nedd(Rub1)ylation, Deacetylation, No Modification, Demethylation.

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.
