LET-60

CELE_ZK792.6, lin-34, ZK792.6
let-60 encodes a member of the GTP-binding RAS protooncogene family; let-60 activity is required for viability, vulval development, spicule development, germ line meiotic progression, posterior development of the hypodermis, chemotaxis, sex myoblast migration, and muscle membrane extension; let-60 acts genetically downstream of let-23 with respect to vulval development and upstream of the MAPK pathway with respect to chemotaxis; let-60 is expressed in neural, muscle, and hypodermal lineages.

GLH-1

CELE_T21G5.3, rhl-2, T21G5.3
glh-1 encodes a putative DEAD-box RNA helicase that contains four CCHC zinc fingers and is homologous to Drosophila VASA, a germ-line-specific, ATP-dependent RNA helicase; at permissive temperature, GLH-1 is required redundantly with GLH-4 for proper germ-line development and fertility, specifically for regulating the normal extent of germ-line proliferation, oogenesis, and the production of functional sperm; GLH-1 activity is also likely required for the wild-type morphology of P granules and for localization of several protein components, such as PGL-1, but not for accumulation of P granule mRNAs; GLH-1 interacts in vivo with CSN-5, a COP9 signalosome component, and in vitro with itself and with KGB-1, a JNK-like MAP kinase, ZYX-1, a LIM domain-containing zyxin homologue, and GLH-3; GLH-1 is a constitutive P granule component and thus, with the exception of mature sperm, is expressed in germ cells at all stages of development; consistent with its P granule localization, GLH-1 is cytoplasmic in oocytes and the early embryo, while perinuclear in all later developmental stages as well as in the distal and medial regions of the hermaphrodite gonad; GLH-1 is also expressed in males.

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.
