Phenotypic Suppression

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutation or over expression of one gene results in suppression of any phenotype (other than lethality/growth defect) associated with mutation or over expression of another gene.

Glutathione (GSH) is a key redox buffer and protectant. Growth (approx. one or two divisions) of cells lacking γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase (gsh1) in the absence of GSH led to irreversible respiratory incompetency in all cells, and after five divisions 75% of cells completely lacked mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). The level of GSH required to allow continuous growth was distinct from that required ... [more]

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.
