UNC-75

CELE_C17D12.2, C17D12.2
unc-75 encodes an RNA-binding protein with two N-terminal RNA recognition motifs (RRMs), a glutamine/asparagine-rich linker domain, and a third C-terminal RRM that is orthologous to the mammalian CELF/BrunoL proteins that control pre-mRNA splicing; UNC-75 is required for neuron-specific splicing of unc-32 mRNA; UNC-75 binds the unc-32 intron 7a in vitro; both UNC-75 and EXC-7 are required in parallel for normal cholinergic neurotransmission; UNC-75 is expressed in all neurons and in neurosecretory gland cells, and is required for normal modulation of GABA- and acetylcholine-mediated neurotransmission; UNC-75 protein is found with other RRM proteins in dynamic nuclear speckles, consistent with a role in alternative mRNA splicing; unc-75 mutations can be rescued in vivo by a human unc-75 transgene, but not by exc-7 or W02D3.11, indicating that UNC-75 acts on evolutionarily conserved but highly specific pre-mRNA substrates.

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.

CRISPR-mediated genetic interaction profiling identifies RNA binding proteins controlling metazoan fitness.

Norris AD, Gracida X, Calarco JA

Genetic interaction screens have aided our understanding of complex genetic traits, diseases, and biological pathways. However, approaches for synthetic genetic analysis with null-alleles in metazoans have not been feasible. Here, we present a CRISPR/Cas9-based Synthetic Genetic Interaction (CRISPR-SGI) approach enabling systematic double-mutant generation. Applying this technique in Caenorhabditis elegans, we comprehensively screened interactions within a set of 14 conserved RNA ... [more]
