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.

Mcs4, a two-component system response regulator homologue, regulates the Schizosaccharomyces pombe cell cycle control.

Cottarel G

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe cdc2-3w wee1-50 double mutant displays a temperature-sensitive lethal phenotype termed mitotic catastrophe. Six mitotic catastrophe suppressor (mcs1-6) genes were identified in a genetic screen designed to identify regulators of cdc2. Mutations in mcs1-6 suppress the cdc2-3w wee1-50 temperature-sensitive growth defect. Here, the cloning of mcs4 is described. The mcs4 gene product displays significant sequence homology to members ... [more]
