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.

The nuclear kinase Lsk1p positively regulates the septation initiation network and promotes the successful completion of cytokinesis in response to perturbation of the actomyosin ring in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Karagiannis J, Bimbo A, Rajagopalan S, Liu J, Balasubramanian MK

Cytokinesis in fission yeast requires the function of an actomyosin-based contractile ring whose constriction is dependent on a signaling module termed the septation initiation network (SIN). In response to minor perturbation of the ring, the duration of SIN signaling is extended concurrently with a delay in nuclear cycle progression. These mechanisms require the conserved phosphatase Clp1p/Flp1p and facilitate the successful ... [more]
