FUS2 / YMR232W Phenotype

Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided.


Summary
Non-essential gene; null exhibits defective nuclear migration, vesicle accumulation, cell wall degradation and membrane fusion during cellular fusion, increased staining along the entire surface of the shmoo projection, extreme sensitivity to low levels of α-synuclein, deficient fast cell death, spontaneous direct-repeat hyper-recombination, decreased mating efficiency, longer mating projections, defective pheromone-induced relocalization of Fus2p to shmoo tip, decreased low-affinity Ca2+ influx; heterozygous null is sensitive to starvation and is haploinsufficient, which results in chromosome instability

Annotations

A phenotype is defined as an observable (e.g., apoptosis) and a qualifier (e.g., increased). There may be more than one row with the same phenotype if that phenotype was observed in separate studies or in different conditions, strains, alleles, etc.

Shared Phenotypes

This diagram displays phenotype observables (purple squares) that are shared between the given gene (yellow circle) and other genes (gray circles) based on the number of phenotype observables shared (adjustable using the slider at the bottom).
