BAIT

SIF2

EMB1, YBR103W
WD40 repeat-containing subunit of Set3C histone deacetylase complex; complex represses early/middle sporulation genes; antagonizes telomeric silencing; binds specifically to the Sir4p N-terminus
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

SUT1

L000003483, YGL162W
Transcription factor of the Zn(II)2Cys6 family; positively regulates genes involved in sterol uptake under anaerobic conditions; involved in hypoxic gene expression; represses filamentation-inducing genes during non-starvation conditions; positively regulates mating with SUT2 by repressing expression of genes which act as mating inhibitors; relocalizes from nucleus to cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress; SUT1 has a paralog, SUT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

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).
