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.

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe pyp1 protein tyrosine phosphatase negatively regulates nutrient monitoring pathways.

Dal Santo P, Blanchard B, Hoffman CS

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe pyp1+ gene, encoding a protein tyrosine phosphatase (pyp1), was isolated as a high copy number suppressor of a mutation that results in reduced cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity. Overexpression of pyp1+ inhibits both transcription of the fbp1 gene, which is negatively regulated by a glucose-induced activation of PKA, and sexual development, which is negatively regulated by PKA ...

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.
