Anglo-Saxon provided - kin , as in Will-kin and Tom-kin , whence Wilkins and Tompkins ; and - cock , as in Will-cock , whence Wilcox .
In the case of the Hint-homologous HNT1 gene of S. cerevisiae , the phenotype of the single mutant was mild and the biological pathway, positive regulation of Kin28, the yeast homolog of Cdk7, was revealed by synthetic lethal interactions between hnt1 and hypomorphic alleles of cak1 , kin28 , ccl1 and tfb3 [ 9 ] . Because backup systems to limit problems with hnt2 mutant cells apparently exist, synthetic lethal interactions may be critical to identify the Hnt2 biological pathway.
If kin-selected genes are going to induce love of kin, they'll have to determine who qualifies as kin in some pedestrian and probably fallible way.
Thus, "kin- recognition mechanism" is a doubly misleading term--first because, as we've seen, the mechanism doesn't positively identify kin, but just identifies factors correlated with kinship; and second because people aren't really aware of doing the identifying.
Loss of Hnt1 enzymatic activity also renders cells hypersensitive to mutations in the cyclin H homolog Ccl1, the MAT1 homolog Tfb3, and to Cak1, the activating kinase for Kin28, all of which lead to destabilized Kin28 complexes and a likely increase in concentration of Kin28 monomers [ 30].
