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.

stf1: non-wee mutations epistatic to cdc25 in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Hudson JD, Feilotter H, Young PG

In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, cdc25 is a cell cycle regulated inducer of mitosis. wee1 and phenotypically wee alleles of cdc2 are epistatic to cdc25. Mutant alleles of a new locus, stf1 (suppressor of twenty-five), identified in a reversion analysis of conditionally lethal cdr1-76 cdc25-22 and cdr2-96 cdc25-22 double mutant strains, also suppress both temperature-sensitive and gene disruption alleles of cdc25. These ... [more]
