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.

GLD-1

CELE_T23G11.3, T23G11.3
gld-1 encodes a protein containing a K homology (KH) RNA binding domain; GLD-1 is required for regulation of the mitosis/meiosis decision during germline development (promotion of meiotic entry) in parallel with gld-2, gld-3, and nos-3 and also affects spermatogenesis; GLD-1 physically interacts with the 3'- and 5'UTR of its putative mRNA targets in vitro to negatively regulate their translation; GLD-1 also physically interacts with FOG-2, an F-box protein that promotes spermatogenesis; GLD-1 is expressed in the germ cell cytoplasm at high levels during meiotic prophase; GLD-1 phosphorylation and levels in the distal, mitotic germline are negatively regulated by CYE-1/cyclin E, CDK-2, and the RNA-binding protein FBF-1.

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.
