CCAAT-binding 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
Transcriptional activator that binds to the 5'-CCAAT-3' consensus elements within promoters required for yeast to grow on nonermentable carbon sources such as cytochrome genes, thus acting as a global regulator of respiration. The Hap2/Hap3/Hap5 trimer is sufficient for CCAAT-specific binding at target promoters. Hap4, is necessary for transcriptional activation and is subject to glucose repression.
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.
