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.

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.

- Summary
- HSF1 encodes an evolutionarily conserved winged helix-turn-helix transcription factor of the E2F family that binds 5'-ATGGAACR-3' sequence motifs. Hsf1p is involved in upregulating the transcription of heat-shock-responsive genes after robust increases in temperature. Hsf1p contains a DNA-binding domain, three leucine zipper repeats responsible for Hsf1p trimerization, a C-terminal transactivation domain, and an N-terminal transactivation domain. All Hsf1p target gene promoters contain multiples of the pentameric sequence 5'-NGAAN-3', termed heat shock elements (HSEs). Hsf1p recognizes both continuous and discontinuous repeats of HSEs. The active DNA-binding form of Hsf1p is a homotrimer. While each HSE is a recognition site for a single Hsf1p monomer, a minimum of three pentameric units is required for stable binding. Some target genes contain four to six contiguous HSEs that are bound by two Hsf1p homotrimers, or seven to eight units that may recruit up to three colocalized homotrimers. However, a single Hsf1p trimer is sufficient to activate transcription. Hsf1p is constitutively bound on target promoters as a homotrimer even in the absence of stress, and its activation function is modulated at the post-translational level. Hsf1p is rapidly phosphorylated after heat shock, and conversion of Hsf1p into the active form occurs simultaneously with extensive phosphorylation. Hsf1 is phosphorylated at different phosphor-acceptor sites in response to heat or menadione, suggesting stress-specific phosphorylation. Hyperphosphorylation generally correlates with the transactivation of Hsf1p, though some phosphorylation events repress its transcriptional activity. Hsf1p is likely phosphorylated by one or more serine-threonine protein kinases, such as Snf1p and/or Yak1p. The Hsp70/Hsp90 chaperone complex appears to repress the transcriptional activation activity of Hsf1p under nonstress conditions. During heat shock, the accumulation of unfolded or damaged proteins may titrate the chaperone machinery from Hsf1p, allowing the derepression of Hsf1p.
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).
