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 and point mutants fail to respire and exhibit mitochondrial genome instability and decreased chronological lifespan; in large-scale studies, the null mutant shows reduced competitive fitness, sensitivity to desiccation, heat, and oxidative stress, and sensitivity to various chemicals
Disease Details

Disease

Disease Annotations consist of three mandatory components: a gene product, a term from the Disease Ontology (DO) controlled vocabulary and an evidence code. SGD provides manually curated DO Annotations derived from the literature.

Summary
BCS1 encodes a mitochondrial AAA ATPase that is essential for respiratory growth. Bcs1p is integral to the mitochondrial inner membrane and plays a key role in the assembly of the cytochrome bc1 complex (complex III) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. One of the essential subunits of the cytochrome bc1 complex is Rip1p - a Rieske iron-sulfur protein with a ubiquinol-cytochrome-c reductase activity that transfers electrons from ubiquinol to cytochrome c1 during respiration. The precursor of Rip1p is synthesized in the cytosol and imported into the mitochondrial matrix, where it binds a 2Fe2S cluster via its C-terminal domain. Bcs1p mediates the transport of the folded FeS-containing C-terminal domain of Rip1p across the inner membrane into the intermembrane space and subsequently integrates Rip1p into the bc1 precomplex. This last step depends on the hydrolysis of Bcs1p-bound ATP, which provides a regulatory loop that links the rate of complex III biogenesis to the energy-producing activity of mitochondria. Increased activity leads to increased ATP levels, which in turn stimulates the Bcs1p-mediated complex III assembly. Human homolg BCS1L is associated with multiple genetic disorders, including Mitochondrial Complex III Deficiency, Bjornstad Syndrome and GRACILE syndrome.

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).
