When individual deletion #yeast strains cannot grow alone, some can be rescued by neighbouring strains producing a critical #metabolite. A search for cross-complementation by co-culture of mutants identified interesting links between, mostly, aminoacid synthesis pathways.
Some of the genetic interaction remain mysterious, such as those involving the deletion of #ribosomal protein genes RPS24B or RPL27A.

A real challenging idea from the Katrin Karbstein's lab: #ribosomal proteins damaged by oxidation are replaced with "fresh" ones to maintain #ribosomes functional. For Rpl10, its association and dissociation from mature ribosomes in the cytoplasm was already known, so it is not clear if the hypothesis put forward in the paper is not a consequence of the shuttling ability of some #proteins assisted by assembly chaperones.
