    Description: Although the genes essential for life have been identified in less complex model organisms, their elucidation in human cells has been hindered by technical barriers. We used extensive mutagenesis in haploid human cells to identify approximately 2000 genes required for optimal fitness under culture conditions. To study the principles of genetic interactions in human cells, we created a synthetic lethality network focused on the secretory pathway based exclusively on mutations. This revealed a genetic cross-talk governing Golgi homeostasis, an additional subunit of the human oligosaccharyltransferase complex, and a phosphatidylinositol 4-kinase beta adaptor hijacked by viruses. The synthetic lethality map parallels observations made in yeast and projects a route forward to reveal genetic networks in diverse aspects of human cell biology.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Blomen, Vincent A -- Majek, Peter -- Jae, Lucas T -- Bigenzahn, Johannes W -- Nieuwenhuis, Joppe -- Staring, Jacqueline -- Sacco, Roberto -- van Diemen, Ferdy R -- Olk, Nadine -- Stukalov, Alexey -- Marceau, Caleb -- Janssen, Hans -- Carette, Jan E -- Bennett, Keiryn L -- Colinge, Jacques -- Superti-Furga, Giulio -- Brummelkamp, Thijn R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2015 Nov 27;350(6264):1092-6. doi: 10.1126/science.aac7557.

    Description: Tubulin is subjected to a number of posttranslational modifications to generate heterogeneous microtubules. The modifications include removal and ligation of the C-terminal tyrosine of -tubulin. The enzymes responsible for detyrosination, an activity first observed 40 years ago, have remained elusive. We applied a genetic screen in haploid human cells to find regulators of tubulin detyrosination. We identified SVBP, a peptide that regulates the abundance of vasohibins (VASH1 and VASH2). Vasohibins, but not SVBP alone, increased detyrosination of -tubulin, and purified vasohibins removed the C-terminal tyrosine of -tubulin. We found that vasohibins play a cell type–dependent role in detyrosination, although cells also contain an additional detyrosinating activity. Thus, vasohibins, hitherto studied as secreted angiogenesis regulators, constitute a long-sought missing link in the tubulin tyrosination cycle.
