F59A2.5

CELE_F59A2.5
F59A2.5 encodes a moderately small (123-residue) protein; F59A2.5 is orthologous to Brugia 14979.m04575, and more distantly similar to budding yeast Pcc1p, to human CTAG1B (OMIM:300156, cancer antigen), CTAG2 (OMIM:300396, melanoma antigen), and LAGE3 (OMIM:300060), and to many other uncharacterized proteins, ~80-200 residues long, in animals, fungi, and plants; F59A2.5 is required for fertility and embryonic development in mass RNAi assays and is bound by CKU-80 in two-hybrid assays; F59A2.5 is transcriptionally activated by HLH-2 and HLH-8, but has no known expression pattern; while F59A2.5 is putatively secreted and its human homologs are antigens, its yeast homolog Pcc1p is thought to be a transcription factor.

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.
