Pressing mitochondrial genetics forward.
Mitochondria are crucial for many cellular functions. In this issue of Cell Reports, studies from Lanning et al. and Wolf and Mootha describe RNAi approaches to screening the mitochondrial proteome. Unexpectedly, they uncover key roles for two poorly characterized mitochondrial proteins: AK4 and FASTKD4. These studies provide examples of the power of forward genetic screens, even when screening...
متن کاملMoving “Forward” in Plasmodium Genetics through a Transposon-Based Approach
The genome sequence of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, was released almost a decade ago. A majority of the Plasmodium genome, however, remains annotated to code for hypothetical proteins with unknown functions. The introduction of forward genetics has provided novel means to gain a better understanding of gene functions and their associated phenotypes in Plasmodium. Even with...
متن کاملSystematic genetics swims forward elegantly
Sometimes when two (or more) genes are perturbed simultaneously, the organism exhibits a surprising property. This property may be a phenotype—either qualitative or quantitative—or the penetrance of a phenotype. This phenomenon, called genetic interaction, suggests that the interacting genes have related functions. Genetic interactions have shaped our understanding of almost every known biologi...
متن کاملForward genetics for back-in-time questions
A genetic screen has revealed one of the molecules that allow choanoflagellates, the closest unicellular relative of animals, to form colonies, which could help researchers to answer questions about the earliest days of animal evolution.
متن کاملForward Genetics: Histidine Auxotrophs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Histidine is a crucial amino acid for growth in S. cerevisiae and plays other important roles for survival in larger eukaryotes. Histidine auxotrophs, organisms that cannot synthesize histidine, often exhibit inhibited growth and development. Research of the model organism, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, illuminates eukaryotic uses of amino acids in other eukaryotes. Researchers have also begun to u...
