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.

Spd1 accumulation causes genome instability independently of ribonucleotide reduction but functions to protect the genome when deoxynucleotide pools are elevated.

Fleck O, Vejrup-Hansen R, Watson A, Carr AM, Nielsen O, Holmberg C

Cullin4, Ddb1, and Cdt2 are core subunits of the ubiquitin ligase complex CRL4(Cdt2), which controls genome stability by targeting Spd1 for degradation during DNA replication and repair in fission yeast. Spd1 has an inhibitory effect on ribonucleotide reductase (RNR), the activity of which is required for deoxynucleotide (dNTP) synthesis. Failure to degrade Spd1 in CRL4(Cdt2) defective mutants leads to DNA ... [more]
