| Standard Name | Msn2p 1 |
|---|---|
| Systematic Name | Ymr037cp |
| ORF Classification | Verified |
| Description | Transcriptional activator; activated in stress conditions, which results in translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus; binds DNA at stress response elements of responsive genes, inducing gene expression; MSN2 has a paralog, MSN4, that arose from the whole genome duplication; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress (2, 3, 4, 5) |
| Name Description | Multicopy suppressor of SNF1 mutation 1 |
