Synthetic Growth Defect

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

Diminishing HDACs by drugs or mutations promotes normal or abnormal sister chromatid separation by affecting APC/C and adherin.

Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) play important roles in cell regulation, including cell cycle progression, although their precise role in mitotic progression remains elusive. To address this issue, the effects of HDAC inhibition were examined upon a variety of mitotic mutants of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which contains three HDACs that are sensitive to trichostatin A (TSA) ...
