Summary of genetic interactions involving Δtor1
Cells deleted for tor1+ were crossed with the indicated alleles. During vegetative growth, double mutant cells were phenotypically similar to the single mutant Δtor1 (None) or showed a synthetic lethal (SL) or sick (SS) interaction. If viable, double mutant strains were tested for their sensitivity to prolonged exposure to replication stress (HU, MMS, or CPT) and compared with the parental strains. The resulting double mutants showed negative genetic interactions (+) or strong negative genetic interactions (+++). Epistatic interactions were found with Δrad3 or Δrad17 in response to HU and MMS, as previously published (marked with an asterisk) (21).
