Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor Swi4p plays a crucial role in the control of the initiation of the cell cycle in budding yeast. To further understand Swi4p function, we set up a synthetic lethal screen for genes interacting with SWI4. Fourteen conditional mutations which resulted in lethality only in the absence of SWI4 have been isolated. Only two of them were suppressed by ectopic expression of CLN2, indicating that...
