SEM-5
CELE_C14F5.5, C14F5.5
sem-5 encodes a Src homology (SH) domain 2 and 3-containing protein, orthologous to human GRB2 (OMIM:108355) and Drosophila Drk; sem-5 functions in multiple signaling pathways during development including those regulating sex myoblast migration, muscle membrane extension, vulval induction, fluid balance, viability, and formation of the male tail; SEM-5 acts downstream of the LET-23 epidermal growth factor receptor to negatively regulate RAS-, MAP-, and IP-3-, mediated signal transduction; a sem-5::yfp promoter fusion is expressed in many cells throughout development, including the hypodermis, intestine, neurons, body wall muscles, and vulval precursor cells.

LAG-2
CELE_Y73C8B.4, let-461, sel-3, Y73C8B.4
lag-2 encodes a transmembrane protein of the Delta/Serrate/Lag-2 (DSL) family that functions as a signaling ligand for the GLP-1 and LIN-12 Notch-like receptors; LAG-2 is required for larval viability and for cell fate decisions involving the germline (meiosis vs mitosis), the somatic gonad, and the early embryo; in addition, LAG-2 functions redundantly with the transmembrane APX-1 and secreted DSL-1 ligands to regulate lateral signaling during vulval development; LAG-2 is expressed in the distal tip cell of the somatic gonad, the ventral nerve cord, the descendants of ABalap and MSap in the developing embryo, and in all six vulval precursor cells (VPCs) during the early L3 stage, with later expression in the VPCs generally restricted to P6.p; lag-2 expression in the vulval cells is regulated by the LET-23/EGF receptor signaling pathway and the SUR-2 component of the Mediator transcription complex.

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.

A global analysis of genetic interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans.
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.
