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.

H3K9me-independent gene silencing in fission yeast heterochromatin by Clr5 and histone deacetylases.

Hansen KR, Hazan I, Shanker S, Watt S, Verhein-Hansen J, Baehler J, Martienssen RA, Partridge JF, Cohen A, Thon G

Nucleosomes in heterochromatic regions bear histone modifications that distinguish them from euchromatic nucleosomes. Among those, histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) and hypoacetylation have been evolutionarily conserved and are found in both multicellular eukaryotes and single-cell model organisms such as fission yeast. In spite of numerous studies, the relative contributions of the various heterochromatic histone marks to the properties of ... [more]
