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.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase Mycbp2 genetically interacts with Robo2 to modulate axon guidance in the mouse olfactory system.

James G, Key B, Beverdam A

The E3 ubiquitin ligase Mycbp2 and it homologues play an important role in axon guidance and synaptogenesis in Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans, zebrafish and mouse. Despite this conserved function, the molecular and cellular basis of Mycbp2-dependent axon guidance remains largely unclear. We have examined here the effect of the loss-of-MYCBP2 function on the topography of the olfactory sensory neuron projection from ... [more]
