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.

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.

Phenotypic Enhancement

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or overexpression of one gene results in enhancement of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Systematic mapping of genetic interactions in Caenorhabditis elegans identifies common modifiers of diverse signaling pathways.

Lehner B, Crombie C, Tischler J, Fortunato A, Fraser AG

Most heritable traits, including disease susceptibility, are affected by interactions between multiple genes. However, we understand little about how genes interact because very few possible genetic interactions have been explored experimentally. We have used RNA interference in Caenorhabditis elegans to systematically test approximately 65,000 pairs of genes for their ability to interact genetically. We identify approximately 350 genetic interactions between ... [more]

Throughput

  • High Throughput

Ontology Terms

  • phenotype: sterile (WBPHENOTYPE:0000688)

Additional Notes

  • A large-scale genetic interaction analysis was carried out to detect interactions between 37 query mutants and approximately 1,750 target genes compromised by RNA interference (RNAi). Interactions were identified if the phenotype of the combined query-target perturbation was greater than the sum of the two individual perturbations.
