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.

M phase-specific kinetochore proteins in fission yeast: microtubule-associating Dis1 and Mtc1 display rapid separation and segregation during anaphase.

Nakaseko Y, Goshima G, Morishita J, Yanagida M

BACKGROUND: Kinetochore microtubules are made early in mitosis and link chromosomal kinetochores to the spindle poles. They are required later to move the separated sister chromatids toward the opposite poles upon the onset of anaphase. Very little is known about proteins that are responsible for the connection between kinetochores and mitotic microtubules. RESULTS: We here show that fission yeast Dis1 ... [more]
