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.

Mitotic substrates of the kinase aurora with roles in chromatin regulation identified through quantitative phosphoproteomics of fission yeast.

Koch A, Krug K, Pengelley S, Macek B, Hauf S

Kinases of the Aurora family are essential for the proper execution of mitosis in eukaryotes, and Aurora inhibitors are in clinical trials as anticancer drugs. We applied site-specific quantitative phosphoproteomics in conjunction with chemical inhibition of Aurora to identify mitotic Aurora substrates in fission yeast on a proteome-wide scale. We detected 8000 phosphorylation events, of which we assigned almost 6000 ... [more]
