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.


Summary
Non-essential gene; null mutant is slow-growing and cold-sensitive, also displays increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and ethanol, but increased resistance to benomyl; overexpression results in elevated mitotic recombination; in systematic studies mutants exhibit reduced competitive fitness
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 cst6 null mutant is viable; the null mutant of paralog aca1 is viable; the cst6 aca1 double mutant is viable.

Summary
CST6 encodes a transcriptional activator of the ATF/CREB family, containing a bZIP structural motif which consists of a leucine zipper that mediates dimerization and an adjacent basic region that contacts DNA. Cst6p binds as a homodimer to the ATF/CREB consensus sequence TGACGTCA, and with comparable efficiency to ATF/CREB sites with single or double substitutions at positions +/- 2. Cst6p can also bind ATF/CREB sites as a heterodimer with Aca1p. Cst6p is important for a variety of biological processes including growth on nonoptimal carbon sources and resistance to a variety of drugs. Target genes include GRE2 and COS8. Cst6p-dependent activation is regulated to some extent by carbon source.

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).
