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.

Pxl1p, a paxillin-related protein, stabilizes the actomyosin ring during cytokinesis in fission yeast.

Ge W, Balasubramanian MK

Paxillins are a family of conserved LIM domain-containing proteins that play important roles in the function and integrity of the actin cytoskeleton. Although paxillins have been extensively characterized by cell biological and biochemical approaches, genetic studies are relatively scarce. Here, we identify and characterize a paxillin-related protein Pxl1p in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Pxl1p is a component of the ... [more]
