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.

Bypass of the requirement for cdc16p GAP function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe by mutation of the septation initiation network genes.

Fournier N, Cerutti L, Beltraminelli N, Salimova E, Simanis V

The onset of septum formation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is signaled via the spglp GTPase-switch, which is part of the septation initiation network. This is negatively regulated by the two-component GTPase-activating protein (GAP) comprised of the products of the cdc16 and byr4 genes. Loss-of-function mutations in either of these genes result in multiple rounds of septum formation without ... [more]
