CBF1-MET4-MET28 sulfur metabolism transcription factor complex Overview

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.


Summary
Transcription factor complex regulating sulfur metabolism. MET4 lacks DNA-binding ability and relies on its interaction with CBF1 to activate its targets. CBF1 is a basic helix–loop–helix factor protein that that homodimerizes to bind a cis-regulatory element CACGTGA motif and then recruits the transactivator MET4 to promoters. MET28 acts to stabilise the complex.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
