Gene Ontology Details

Gene Ontology

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code. SGD has manually curated and high-throughput GO Annotations, both derived from the literature, as well as computational, or predicted, annotations. Click "Gene Ontology Details" to view all GO information and evidence for this locus as well as biological processes it shares with other genes.


Summary
Subunit of the Slx5-Slx8 SUMO-targeted ubiquitin ligase (STUbL) complex; contributes to the ubiquitin ligase activity of the complex; involved in the cellular response to DNA damage and telomere maintenance; localizes to the nucleus with a sub-pool at the centromere

Complex

Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.


Phenotype Details

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. Click "Phenotype Details" to view all phenotype annotations and evidence for this locus as well as phenotypes it shares with other genes.


Summary
Non-essential gene; null mutant has a reduced growth rate and competitive fitness; null mutant displays elevated whole chromosome aneuploidy, increased gross chromosomal rearrangements and loss of heterozygosity; null mutant has a metaphase delay, and decreased duration of the G1 phase; null mutant displays spindle defects including: mispositioned spindles, fish hook spindles, and aberrant spindle kinetics; null mutant has abnormal nuclear morphology with some nuclear extensions at the nuclear envelope adjacent to the nucleolus in large-budded cells; null has decreased resistance to DNA synthesis inhibitors, DNA damaging agents and UV radiation; homozygous diploid null has a sporulation defect; overexpression results in inviability
Interaction Details

Interaction

Interaction annotations are curated by BioGRID and include physical or genetic interactions observed between at least two genes. An interaction annotation is composed of the interaction type, name of the interactor, assay type (e.g., Two-Hybrid), annotation type (e.g., manual or high-throughput), and a reference, as well as other experimental details. Click "Interaction Details" to view all interaction annotations and evidence for this locus, including an interaction visualization.

Expression Details

Expression

Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
