Transcription factor; required for flocculation, diploid filamentous growth, and haploid invasive growth; forms a heterodimer with Mss1p that interacts with the Swi/Snf complex during transcriptional activation of FLO1, FLO11, and STA1; S. cerevisiae genome reference strain S288C contains an internal in-frame stop at codon 142, which in other strains encodes tryptophan

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.

The regulation of gene expression is, in large part, mediated by interplay between the general transcription factors (GTFs) that function to bring about the expression of many genes and site-specific DNA-binding transcription factors (STFs). Here, quantitative genetic profiling using the epistatic miniarray profile (E-MAP) approach allowed us to measure 48 391 pairwise genetic interactions, both negative (aggravating) and positive (alleviating), ...

Additional Notes

  • An Epistatic MiniArray Profile (E-MAP) approach was used to quantitatively score genetic interactions based on fitness defects estimated from the colony size of double versus single mutants. Genetic interactions were considered significant if they had an S score > 2.5 for positive interactions (epistatic or suppressor interactions) and S score < -2.5 for negative interactions (synthetic sick/lethal interactions).
