Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

α-Actinin and fimbrin cooperate with myosin II to organize actomyosin bundles during contractile-ring assembly.

Laporte D, Ojkic N, Vavylonis D, Wu JQ

The actomyosin contractile ring assembles through the condensation of a broad band of nodes that form at the cell equator in fission yeast cytokinesis. The condensation process depends on actin filaments that interconnect nodes. By mutating or titrating actin cross-linkers α-actinin Ain1 and fimbrin Fim1 in live cells, we reveal that both proteins are involved in node condensation. Ain1 and ... [more]
