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
NHP6A and NHP6B encode paralogous High Mobility Group (HMG) B domain-containing transcription factors that are involved in the modulation of chromatin structure. The Nhp6A and Nhp6B proteins differ at their N-termini, but over the 90 amino acid core region are 96% similar. Nhp6p contains a single HMGB domain that binds DNA in the minor groove and a basic N-terminal extension that wraps around DNA to contact the major groove, enabling Nhp6p to bind DNA as a monomer in a sequence-nonspecific manner, and bend DNA sharply. Nhp6p affects a range of processes linked to appropriate regulation of transcription through maintenance of normal chromatin structure. Nhp6p functions in the formation of preinitiation complexes at RNA polymerase II promoters, and also promotes RNA polymerase III transcription, as well as facilitating the activity of chromatin modifying complexes. Nhp6p localization in the vicinity of transcription start sites parallels that of nucleosomes. Expression of NHP6 genes is regulated by the concentration of Nhp6 protein or RNA, as overexpression of Nhp6p results in a dramatic decrease in NHP6 expression, and is toxic to cells.

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). Click "Expression Details" to view all expression annotations and details for this locus, including a visualization of genes that share a similar expression pattern.
