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.

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 shows inositol auxotrophy and reduced synthesis of phosphatidylcholine
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.

Summary
INO4 encodes a zipper-type transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family that binds 5'-GCATGTGAAT-3' motifs, known as the inositol sensitive upstream activating elements (UAS-INO) or inositol/choline responsive elements (ICRE). Ino2p and Ino4p work as a heterodimer to activate transcription by binding ICREs in the promoters of structural genes of the phosphatidyl-inositol and phosphatidyl-choline synthesis pathways, including INO1 and more than 30 other genes. Regulation of the Ino2p/Ino4p heterodimer involves the Opi1p repressor, which interacts with transcription activation domains in Ino2p. When inositol is limiting, Opi1p directly interacts with phosphatidic acid and is tethered to the ER membrane, derepressing the Ino2p/Ino4p activatory heterodimer, which can then turn on transcription of its target genes. When phosphatidic acid levels are reduced, Opi1p is released from the ER membrane and enters the nucleus, where it prevents Ino2p/Ino4p from activating transcription by binding the activation domains in Ino2p.

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).
