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.
