BAIT

OSH6

oxysterol-binding protein OSH6, YKR003W
Member of an oxysterol-binding protein family; overlapping, redundant functions in sterol metabolism and which collectively perform a function essential for viability; GFP-fusion protein localizes to the cell periphery; overexpression extends lifespan by promoting vacuolar fusion; OSH6 has a paralog, OSH7, that arose from the whole genome duplication
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

MDY2

GET5, TMA24, YOL111C
Protein involved in inserting tail-anchored proteins into ER membranes; forms a complex with Get4p; required for efficient mating; involved in shmoo formation and nuclear migration in the pre-zygote; associates with ribosomes
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.

To broadly explore mitochondrial structure and function as well as the communication of mitochondria with other cellular pathways, we constructed a quantitative, high-density genetic interaction map (the MITO-MAP) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The MITO-MAP provides a comprehensive view of mitochondrial function including insights into the activity of uncharacterized mitochondrial proteins and the functional connection between mitochondria and the ER. The MITO-MAP ... [more]

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 >= 2.0 for positive interactions (epistatic or suppressor interactions) and S score <= -2.5 for negative interactions (synthetic sick/lethal interactions). The authors constructed a mitochondrial-focused genetic interaction map (the MITO-MAP).
