BAIT

ARG8

acetylornithine transaminase, L000000111, YOL140W
Acetylornithine aminotransferase; catalyzes the fourth step in the biosynthesis of the arginine precursor ornithine
GO Process (2)
GO Function (1)
GO Component (2)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

CAN1

arginine permease CAN1, L000000213, YEL063C
Plasma membrane arginine permease; requires phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) for localization, exclusively associated with lipid rafts; mutation confers canavanine resistance; CAN1 has a paralog, ALP1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

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.

Multiple knockout analysis of genetic robustness in the yeast metabolic network.

Deutscher D, Meilijson I, Kupiec M, Ruppin E

Genetic robustness characterizes the constancy of the phenotype in face of heritable perturbations. Previous investigations have used comprehensive single and double gene knockouts to study gene essentiality and pairwise gene interactions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here we conduct an in silico multiple knockout investigation of a flux balance analysis model of the yeast's metabolic network. Cataloging gene sets that ... [more]
