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 core mediator complex, which is involved in assembly of RNA polymerase II preinitiation complex and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; localized to nucleus

Molecular Function

Manually Curated

Cellular Component

Manually Curated

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
Essential gene; reduction of function decreases competitive fitness; conditional (ts) mutation results in reduced size of nucleolus
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
NUT2 (also known as MED10) encodes a component of the middle module of the Mediator transcriptional regulation complex. The Mediator complex is highly conserved from yeast to human, and is a central player in the transcriptional regulation of protein-coding genes, being required for nearly all transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Mediator bridges activators and the general transcription machinery. The core Mediator complex contains three distinct head, middle, and tail modules. Other subunits of the middle module are encoded by MED1, MED4, MED7, CSE2/MED9, RGR1/MED14, SRB7/MED21, and SOH1/MED31. The tail module interacts with gene expression regulators, while the head and middle modules interact with general transcription factors and RNAPII subunits to regulate transcription initiation. Nut2p bridges between the middle and tail modules, and within the middle module binds Med4p and Med7p.

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).
