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.

Actin-capping protein is involved in controlling organization of actin cytoskeleton together with ADF/cofilin, profilin and F-actin crosslinking proteins in fission yeast.

Nakano K, Mabuchi I

Actin-capping protein (CP) is a heterodimeric protein which is expressed in various eukaryotic cells. CP binds to the barbed end of the actin filaments in vitro and inhibits both the association and dissociation of actin monomers at this end. However, the cellular role of CP has not been uncovered. Here we investigated the function of CP in fission yeast cells. ... [more]
