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.

Identification of cold-sensitive mutations in the Schizosaccharomyces pombe actin locus.

McCollum D, Balasubramanian M, Gould K

In recent years, the actin cytoskeleton in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has become the subject of intense scrutiny. However, to date, only a single actin mutation has been identified. Described here is the isolation and characterization of four new cold-sensitive actin mutations. Sequence analysis of the mutant actin genes indicated that each of these mutations caused alterations in single amino acids that ... [more]
