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.


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
The nrg2 null mutant is viable; the null mutant of paralog nrg1 is viable; the nrg2 nrg1 double mutant displays a phenotypic enhancement.

Summary
NRG2 encodes a transcriptional repressor that is a member of the C2H2 zinc finger class. Nrg2p, along with its paralog Nrg1p, responds to glucose signals received via Snf1p kinase, and to stress signals received via the Rim101p transcriptional repressor. Nrg1p and Nrg2p regulate a variety of processes, including response to glucose levels; response to alkaline pH and to salt, osmotic, and oxidative stress; filamentous growth; and biofilm formation. Some major targets of Nrg1p and Nrg2p include FLO11, encoding a cell surface adhesin, ENA1, encoding a plasma membrane salt efflux pump, and SUC2, encoding extracellular invertase. The set of genes regulated by Nrg2p overlaps with, but is not identical to, the set regulated by Nrg1p. Nrg2p represses transcription by recruiting the Cyc8p-Tup1p complex to promoters. NRG2 transcription does not respond to glucose levels and is up-regulated at alkaline pH, in contrast to NRG1 transcription which is glucose-repressed and up-regulated at acidic pH. Stability of the NRG2 mRNA is negatively regulated via mRNA decay.

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).
