IME1-UME6 transcription activation 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
Transcriptional activator that acts at promoters of early meiosis-specific genes and recruits the histone acetyl transferase Gcn5 to initiate transcription. Formation of the complex under meiotic induction conditions converts the URS1 element-binding protein, UME6, from a repressor to an activator resulting in the formation of asci. Phosphorylation of IME1 by RIM11 (P38615) is required for complex formation.
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.
