ASB-1

CELE_F35G12.10, F35G12.10
asb-1 encodes the B subunit of the membrane-bound F0 proton channel portion of ATP synthase (mitochondrial respiratory chain [MRC] complex V) that is closely similar to its paralog ASB-2; asb-1 activity is required for embryonic viability and for normal proliferation of germline cells, specifically their progression to meiosis; in addition, asb-1 is required for response to hermaphrodite contact, the first step in a series of stereotypical male mating behaviors; expression of asb-1 mRNA is enriched in the germline and an ASB-1::GFP fusion localizes to mitochondria and to cilia of the male-specific CEM neurons.
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.
