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 mutants grow slowly, have decreased ethanol tolerance, are extremely sensitive to glycosylation inhibitor tunicamycin, show increased [PSI+] prion formation, are sensitive to Huntingtin, heat, zinc deficiency, and are auxotrophic for inositols; overexpression interferes with cell cycle progression and cytoskeleton morphology; heterozygous diploid nulls are haploinsufficient
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
HAC1 encodes a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor of the ATF/CREB family that binds a 5'-RMCACGT-3' motif. Hac1p acts in coordination with Gcn4p to upregulate the unfolded protein response (UPR). The expression of ~380 genes is altered during the UPR, and roughly half have Hac1p binding sequences in the promoter. Hac1p induces the transcription of genes encoding both ER chaperones and components of the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) machinery, that contain one or more unfolded protein response elements (UPREs) in their promoters. UPR activation requires nonconventional splicing of the HAC1 mRNA in the cytoplasm. Unactivated HAC1 mRNA is constitutively expressed, but cannot be translated due to the presence of a 3' RNA hairpin. GTPase Ypt1p associates with and controls the RNA stability of unspliced HAC1 under normal growth conditions. Activated Ire1p cleaves the inactive HAC1 mRNA to remove the hairpin, which is then ligated by the Trl1p RNA ligase, allowing translation to proceed, and expression of Hac1p as a functional transcriptional activator. Hac1p then translocates to the nucleus and activates a large transcriptional program to compensate for the accumulation of misfolded proteins or other causes of ER stress.

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).
