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.

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 displays Opi- phenotype (overproduction and excretion of inositol in the absence of inositol and choline) and petite-negative phenotype (loss of the mitochondrial genome is lethal); null mutant has reduced growth rate on nonfermentable carbon sources and decreased survival rate in stationary phase; in large-scale studies, null mutant displays decreased competitive fitness in a variety of media and altered resistance to various chemicals
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.

Summary
OPI1 encodes a transcriptional repressor involved in regulation of phospholipid synthesis in response to the availability of inositol. Inositol is a key component of phosphatidylinositol (PI), and an essential precursor for inositol-containing sphingolipids, glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, as well as signaling molecules, such as phosphoinositides and inositol polyphosphates. It also affects synthesis of phosphatidic acid (PA)-derived lipids, such as phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS). Genes involved in these pathways are positively regulated by the Ino2p/Ino4p heterodimer, which binds the inositol sensitive upstream activating elements (UAS-INO) in their promoters. Opi1p interacts with Ino2p and with general corepressors Sin3p and Ssn6p, and recruits multiple histone deacetylases, including Hda1p, Hos3p and Rpd3p, to their promoters, thus repressing transcription. The transcriptional repressor activity of Opi1p is regulated through its cellular location that responds to changing levels of PA and PI, which in turn are affected by the presence of inositol. In cells grown without exogenous inositol, PI levels are low, PA levels are high, and Opi1p remains in the perinuclear ER, where it is tethered to the membrane though association with PA and an integral membrane protein Scs2p. When inositol is added, PI synthesis rapidly increases and the ER pool of PA is depleted, which causes release of Opi1p from the membrane and its translocation to the nucleus, where it represses transcription of UAS-INO-containing promoters.

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).
