Actin assembly factor; C-terminal WCA domain activates Arp2/3 complex-mediated nucleation of branched actin filaments and a polyproline domain which can nucleate actin filaments independent of Arp2/3; mutants are defective in actin cytoskeleton dependent processes such as: endocytosis, bud site selection and cytokinesis; localizes with the Arp2/3 complex to actin cortical patches; homolog of the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP), implicated in severe immunodeficiency
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes lethality in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

Many disease states result from gene overexpression, often in a specific genetic context. To explore gene overexpression phenotypes systematically, we assembled an array of 5280 yeast strains, each containing an inducible copy of an S. cerevisiae gene, covering >80% of the genome. Approximately 15% of the overexpressed genes (769) reduced growth rate. This gene set was enriched for cell cycle-regulated ... [more]
