tbp-1 encodes the C. elegans ortholog of the human TATA-box-binding protein (TBP; OMIM:600075; mutated in spinocerebellar ataxia 17); consistent with its proposed role in transcriptional regulation, TBP-1 has been shown to provide TFIID-like basal transcription activity in human and C. elegans extracts, to bind specifically to a TATA box sequence, and to interact with TFIIA and TFIIB transcription factors from other species; large-scale RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) screens indicate that tbp-1 activity is required for embryonic and larval development, as well as for normal rates of postembryonic growth.
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.
