Synthetic lethality and semi-lethality among functionally related mutants of Drosophila melanfgaster.
sex-linked mutant deep orange (dor) of Drosophila melanogaster is T z o n s i b l e for a peculiar type of female sterility: mutant females produce no progeny when crossed to mutant males but yield some offspring (heterozygous daughters) when mated to wild-type males (MERRELL 1947). The effects of this mutant on embryonic development have been extensively studied by COUNCE (1956a) and more rece...
متن کاملOverexpression of dilp2 causes nutrient-dependent semi-lethality in Drosophila
Insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) plays an important role as a systemic regulator of metabolism in multicellular organisms. Hyperinsulinemia, a high level of blood insulin, is often associated with impaired physiological conditions such as hypoglycemia, insulin resistance, and diabetes. However, due to the complex pathophysiology of hyperinsulinemia, the causative role of excess insulin/...
متن کاملExtragenic suppression and synthetic lethality among Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants resistant to anti-microtubule drugs.
The antimicrotubule agents oryzalin (ORY), colchicine (COL) and taxol (TAX) were used to select three recessive, conditional lethal (ts-) mutants which defined two new essential loci, ory1 and cor1. The two ory1 mutants conferred resistance to ORY, TAX, and COL; the cor1 mutant conferred resistance only to COL. Each of the mutants displayed wild-type sensitivity to a number of unrelated inhibit...
متن کاملSSLPred : Predicting Synthetic Sickness Lethality
Two genes in an organism have a Synthetic Sickness Lethality (SSL) interaction, if their joint deletion leads to a lower than expected fitness. Synthetic Gene Array (SGA) is a technique that helps in identifying SSL values for pairs of genes in a given set of genes. SSL interactions are useful to discover the co-expressed gene groups in the regulatory and signaling networks. Also, they are used...
متن کاملLethality patterns and morphology of selected lethal and semi-lethal mutations in the zeste-white region of Drosophila melanogaster.
Aspects of the developmental genetics of lethal and semi-lethal mutants representing 13 complementation groups (cistrons) in the 3A-3C region of the X chromosome of Drosophila melanogaster are given. Each of these cistrons is associated with a particular chromomere in the salivary gland chromosome. Mutants within each cistron have similar lethality patterns and morphological attributes, and the...
