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.

A role for the START gene-specific transcription factor complex in the inactivation of cyclin B and Cut2 destruction.

Tournier S, Millar JB

Hyperactivation of Cdc2 in fission yeast causes cells to undergo a lethal premature mitosis called mitotic catastrophe. This phenotype is observed in cdc2-3w wee1-50 cells at high temperature. Eleven of 17 mutants that suppress this phenotype define a single complementation group, mcs1. The mcs1-77 mutant also suppresses lethal inactivation of the Wee1 and Mik1 tyrosine kinases and thus delays mitosis ... [more]

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.
