Table 4. Genetic interactions between ppa2-6, ppa2–Δ, ppa1–Δ, ypa1–Δ, ypa2-7, and ypa2–Δ.

Mutant ppa1−Δ ppa2−Δ ppa2-6 ypa1−Δ ypa2−Δ ypa2-7
ppa1−Δ ND Synthetically lethal: single, small, rounded cell Synthetically lethal: 1 or 2 small rounded cells at 32° and 36° Cold sensitive at 19°, similar to ypa1−Δ Cold sensitive at 19°, similar to ypa2−Δ Cold sensitive at 19°, similar to ypa2-7
ppa2−Δ ND ND (allelic) Cells are wee-like ppa2−Δ at >29° and cold sensitive-like ypa1−Δ at 19° Additive negative effect: cells are cold sensitive at 19°, very slow growing wee at >29° Cells are wee at >25° and cold sensitive at 19°
ppa2-6 ND Slow growing colony of rounded, lysed cells Synthetically lethal: 1–2 rounded cells after germination Synthetically lethal: 1–2 rounded cells after germination
ypa1−Δ ND Synthetically lethal: cells undergo 1–2 divisions dying as rounded cells Synthetically lethal: cells undergo 1–2 divisions dying as rounded cells
ypa2−Δ ND ND (allelic)
ypa2-7 ND

Mutants were crossed at 25°. Tetrads were dissected and spores were germinated on complete medium at 32°. In cases were lethal interactions were observed, other temperatures were tested, but no temperature in the range of 19°–36° altered the result obtained. At least 10 tetrads were analyzed for all double mutant combinations. ND, not done.
