BAIT

ARP2

ACT2, actin-related protein 2, L000000026, YDL029W
Essential component of the Arp2/3 complex; Arp2/3 is a highly conserved actin nucleation center required for the motility and integrity of actin patches; involved in endocytosis and membrane growth and polarity; required for efficient Golgi-to-ER trafficking in COPI mutants
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

CDC5

MSD2, PKX2, polo kinase CDC5, L000000245, YMR001C
Polo-like kinase; controls targeting and activation of Rho1p at cell division site via Rholp guanine nucleotide exchange factors; regulates Spc72p; also functions in adaptation to DNA damage during meiosis; has similarity to Xenopus Plx1 and S. pombe Plo1p; possible Cdc28p substrate
Kinome Project (Sc)
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

The nature of synthetic genetic interactions involving essential genes (those required for viability) has not been previously examined in a broad and unbiased manner. We crossed yeast strains carrying promoter-replacement alleles for more than half of all essential yeast genes to a panel of 30 different mutants with defects in diverse cellular processes. The resulting genetic network is biased toward ... [more]
