Synthetic Lethality

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

pmp1+, a suppressor of calcineurin deficiency, encodes a novel MAP kinase phosphatase in fission yeast.

Calcineurin is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase. The in vivo role of calcineurin, however, is not fully understood. Here, we show that disruption of the calcineurin gene (ppb1(+)) in fission yeast results in a drastic chloride ion (Cl-)-sensitive growth defect and that a high copy number of a novel gene pmp1(+) suppresses this defect. ...
