Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.

Viral protein engagement of GBF1 induces host cell vulnerability through synthetic lethality.

Navare AT, Mast FD, Olivier JP, Bertomeu T, Neal ML, Carpp LN, Kaushansky A, Coulombe-Huntington J, Tyers M, Aitchison JD

Viruses co-opt host proteins to carry out their lifecycle. Repurposed host proteins may thus become functionally compromised; a situation analogous to a loss-of-function mutation. We term such host proteins as viral-induced hypomorphs. Cells bearing cancer driver loss-of-function mutations have successfully been targeted with drugs perturbing proteins encoded by the synthetic lethal (SL) partners of cancer-specific mutations. Similarly, SL interactions of ... [more]
