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
DNA-directed DNA polymerase and single-stranded DNA 3'-5' exodeoxyribonuclease; subunit of the epsilon DNA polymerase complex; involved in DNA-dependent DNA replication, leading strand elongation, DNA replication proofreading, and DNA repair; also involved in mitotic sister chromatid cohesion, heterochromatin organization involved in chromatin silencing, the mitotic DNA replication checkpoint, and the intra-S DNA damage checkpoint

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; heat-sensitive mutant arrests as large-budded cells with nuclei at the mother-bud neck; point mutations affect chromosome stability and mutation frequency, and confer sensitivity to HU, MMS, and camptothecin; in large-scale studies, mutants display reduced competitive fitness and an Opi- phenotype (overproduction and excretion of inositol in the absence of inositol and choline)
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. Click "Disease Details" to view all Disease information and evidence for this locus as well as diseases it shares with other genes.


Summary
Yeast POL2 is homologous to human POLE, and has been used to study hypermutable colorectal and endometrial cancers, anaplastic astrocytoma, breast carcinoma, duodenal cancer, glioblastoma, high grade glioma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma, stomach adenocarcinoma, and uterine serous carcinoma
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.

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). Click "Expression Details" to view all expression annotations and details for this locus, including a visualization of genes that share a similar expression pattern.
