Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Redundant roles of Srs2 helicase and replication checkpoint in survival and rDNA maintenance in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Yasuhira S

Srs2 helicase is believed to function as an anti-recombinase by resolving inappropriate Rad51-DNA filament. We found synthetic lethality or poor growth of srs2 with rad3 or mrc1 in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Lethality may result from a defect in non-checkpoint function of Rad3 or Mrc1 in the absence of Srs2, because srs2 rad9, srs2 chk1 cds1 or srs2 mrc1-14A (non-phosphorylatable mrc1 allele) ... [more]
