PPH-6

CELE_C34C12.3, C34C12.3
pph-6 encodes the sole catalytic subunit of a PP6 protein phosphatase in the nematode genome orthologous to yeast and mammalian PP6 proteins (OMIM:612725); PPH-6 is essential for proper cortical contractility and spindle positioning in one-cell stage embryo; PPH-6 exists in a complex with SAPS-1, they mutually stabilize each other and that these two components ensure normal protein levels of their partner; PPH-6/SAPS-1 is required for maintenance of cortical patches of non-muscle myocin(NMY)-2; PPH-6/SAPS-1 contributes to cytokinesis by regulating the astral pathway which relies on contractile properties of the cortical actomyosin network during pseudocleavage stage; PPH-6/SAPS-1 promotes cortical GPR-1/2 and LIN-5; modulation of pulling forces by CSNK-1 specifically during anaphase requires PPH-6/SAPS-1.
Caenorhabditis elegans

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.
