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.

Alpha-synuclein acts in the nucleus to inhibit histone acetylation and promote neurotoxicity.

Kontopoulos E, Parvin JD, Feany MB

Alpha-synuclein is a neuronal protein implicated genetically in Parkinson's disease. alpha-synuclein localizes to the nucleus and presynaptic nerve terminals. Here we show that alpha-synuclein mediates neurotoxicity in the nucleus. Targeting of alpha-synuclein to the nucleus promotes toxicity, whereas cytoplasmic sequestration is protective in both cell culture and transgenic Drosophila. Toxicity of alpha-synuclein can be rescued by administration of histone deacetylase ... [more]
