Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Publication

The MAPK homolog, Smk1, promotes assembly of the glucan layer of the spore wall in S. cerevisiae.

Lee-Soety JY, Resch G, Rimal A, Johnson ES, Benway J, Winter E

Smk1 is a MAPK homolog in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that controls the postmeiotic program of spore wall assembly. During this program, haploid cells are surrounded by a layer of mannan and then a layer of glucan. These inner layers of the spore wall resemble the vegetative cell wall. Next, the outer layers consisting of chitin/chitosan and then dityrosine are ... [more]

Affinity Capture-Western
Affinity Capture-Western

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner identified by Western blot with a specific polyclonal antibody or second epitope tag. This category is also used if an interacting protein is visualized directly by dye stain or radioactivity. Note that this differs from any co-purification experiment involving affinity capture in that the co-purification experiment involves at least one extra purification step to get rid of potential contaminating proteins.
