SMA-6

CELE_C32D5.2, C32D5.2
sma-6 encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is orthologous to type I TGF-beta receptors; sma-6 activity is required for regulating body length and for proper development of the male tail; sma-6, along with other genes in the TGF-beta Sma/Mab pathway, also regulates reproductive aging; a reduction of TGF-beta pathway genes extends reproductive span by maintaining oocyte and germline quality; sma-6 expression first begins at the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis and continues through adulthood; sma-6 is expressed in dorsal and ventral hypodermis, pharyngeal muscle, and the intestine; expression in the hypodermis is necessary and sufficient for body length regulation.

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.
