SEM-5

CELE_C14F5.5, C14F5.5
sem-5 encodes a Src homology (SH) domain 2 and 3-containing protein, orthologous to human GRB2 (OMIM:108355) and Drosophila Drk; sem-5 functions in multiple signaling pathways during development including those regulating sex myoblast migration, muscle membrane extension, vulval induction, fluid balance, viability, and formation of the male tail; SEM-5 acts downstream of the LET-23 epidermal growth factor receptor to negatively regulate RAS-, MAP-, and IP-3-, mediated signal transduction; a sem-5::yfp promoter fusion is expressed in many cells throughout development, including the hypodermis, intestine, neurons, body wall muscles, and vulval precursor cells.

ROP-1

CELE_C12D8.11, rop1, C12D8.11
rop-1 encodes an RNAi-binding protein that is orthologous to the vertebrate 60-kDa Ro autoantigen that is the protein component of the Ro ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complex; ROP-1 binds the single C. elegans Ro RNP RNA component, YRN-1 (Y RNA) in vivo and although loss of rop-1 activity via mutation results in no obvious visible phenotypes, it does result in a dramatic decrease in YRN-1 levels, indicating that ROP-1 is necessary for maintaining normal levels of the Ro RNP Y RNA; in addition, rop-1 mutations also result in a statistically significant increase in mutant 5S rRNA molecules found in ribosomal RNA preparations, suggesting that ROP-1 may play a role in quality control of 5S rRNA processing; rop-1 mRNA is detectable during all stages of development, and rop-1 promoter fusions appear to be expressed in all cell types, except the germline.

Negative Genetic

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.

BACKGROUND: Understanding gene function and genetic relationships is fundamental to our efforts to better understand biological systems. Previous studies systematically describing genetic interactions on a global scale have either focused on core biological processes in protozoans or surveyed catastrophic interactions in metazoans. Here, we describe a reliable high-throughput approach capable of revealing both weak and strong genetic interactions in the ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • A systematic genetic interaction analysis (SGI) was carried out to detect interactions between 11 query mutants and 858 target genes compromised by RNA interference (RNAi). Interactions were determined using growth scores that indicated whether the resulting number of progeny from the double mutant was significantly different than that of single mutant controls.
