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.

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]

Reconstituted Complex

An interaction is inferred between proteins in vitro. This can include proteins in recombinant form or proteins isolated directly from cells with recombinant or purified bait. For example, GST pull-down assays where a GST-tagged protein is first isolated and then used to fish interactors from cell lysates are considered reconstituted complexes (e.g. PUBMED: 14657240, Fig. 4A or PUBMED: 14761940, Fig. 5). This can also include gel-shifts, surface plasmon resonance, isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and bio-layer interferometry (BLI) experiments. The bait-hit directionality may not be clear for 2 interacting proteins. In these cases the directionality is up to the discretion of the curator.
