    Description: A genetic interaction network containing approximately 1000 genes and approximately 4000 interactions was mapped by crossing mutations in 132 different query genes into a set of approximately 4700 viable gene yeast deletion mutants and scoring the double mutant progeny for fitness defects. Network connectivity was predictive of function because interactions often occurred among functionally related genes, and similar patterns of interactions tended to identify components of the same pathway. The genetic network exhibited dense local neighborhoods; therefore, the position of a gene on a partially mapped network is predictive of other genetic interactions. Because digenic interactions are common in yeast, similar networks may underlie the complex genetics associated with inherited phenotypes in other organisms.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tong, Amy Hin Yan -- Lesage, Guillaume -- Bader, Gary D -- Ding, Huiming -- Xu, Hong -- Xin, Xiaofeng -- Young, James -- Berriz, Gabriel F -- Brost, Renee L -- Chang, Michael -- Chen, YiQun -- Cheng, Xin -- Chua, Gordon -- Friesen, Helena -- Goldberg, Debra S -- Haynes, Jennifer -- Humphries, Christine -- He, Grace -- Hussein, Shamiza -- Ke, Lizhu -- Krogan, Nevan -- Li, Zhijian -- Levinson, Joshua N -- Lu, Hong -- Menard, Patrice -- Munyana, Christella -- Parsons, Ainslie B -- Ryan, Owen -- Tonikian, Raffi -- Roberts, Tania -- Sdicu, Anne-Marie -- Shapiro, Jesse -- Sheikh, Bilal -- Suter, Bernhard -- Wong, Sharyl L -- Zhang, Lan V -- Zhu, Hongwei -- Burd, Christopher G -- Munro, Sean -- Sander, Chris -- Rine, Jasper -- Greenblatt, Jack -- Peter, Matthias -- Bretscher, Anthony -- Bell, Graham -- Roth, Frederick P -- Brown, Grant W -- Andrews, Brenda -- Bussey, Howard -- Boone, Charles -- GM39066/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM61221/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Feb 6;303(5659):808-13.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Banting and Best Department of Medical Research, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada M5G 1L6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14764870" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Oncogenic Ras proteins transform animal cells to a malignant phenotype only when modified by farnesyl residues attached to cysteines near their carboxyl termini. The farnesyltransferase that catalyzes this reaction recognizes tetrapeptides of the sequence CAAX, where C is cysteine, A is an aliphatic amino acid, and X is a carboxyl-terminal methionine or serine. Replacement of the two aliphatic residues with a benzodiazepine-based mimic of a peptide turn generated potent inhibitors of farnesyltransferase [50 percent inhibitory concentration (IC50) 〈 1 nM]. Unlike tetrapeptides, the benzodiazepine peptidomimetics enter cells and block attachment of farnesyl to Ras, nuclear lamins, and several other proteins. At micromolar concentrations, these inhibitors restored a normal growth pattern to Ras-transformed cells. The benzodiazepine peptidomimetics may be useful in the design of treatments for tumors in which oncogenic Ras proteins contribute to abnormal growth, such as that of the colon, lung, and pancreas.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉James, G L -- Goldstein, J L -- Brown, M S -- Rawson, T E -- Somers, T C -- McDowell, R S -- Crowley, C W -- Lucas, B K -- Levinson, A D -- Marsters, J C Jr -- HL 20948/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1993 Jun 25;260(5116):1937-42.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Genetics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas 75235.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8316834" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
