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.

A WD repeat protein controls the cell cycle and differentiation by negatively regulating Cdc2/B-type cyclin complexes.

Yamaguchi S, Murakami H, Okayama H

In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, p34(cdc2) plays a central role controlling the cell cycle. We recently isolated a new gene named srw1(+), capable of encoding a WD repeat protein, as a multicopy suppressor of hyperactivated p34(cdc2). Cells lacking srw1(+) are sterile and defective in cell cycle controls. When starved for nitrogen source, they fail to effectively arrest in G1 ... [more]
