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; haploid null mutants exhibit abnormal vacuolar morphology, and impaired respiratory metabolism, competitive fitness and filamentous growth; heterozygous diploid nulls are sensitive to starvation; overexpression impairs growth, cell cycle progression, and chromosome stability
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
YOX1 encodes a helix-turn-helix transcriptional repressor of the homeodomain family. Yox1p restricts transcription of genes containing early cell cycle boxes (ECBs) to M-G1 phase. Yox1p is an ancillary transcription factor that binds alongside Mcm1p on promoters. Examples include important cell cycle genes such as SWI4 and CLN3, themselves rate-limiting for cell cycle progression, and essential for the control of subsequent waves of gene expression at G1-S. Yox1p binds upstream of genes involved in spindle function, DNA synthesis and repair, and also associates with a small portion of intergenic regions adjacent to tRNA genes. Removal of Yox1p from promoters allows gene expression at M-G1. YOX1 is under transcriptional regulation by SBF, and Mcm1p controls the expression of SWI4 which encodes a component of SBF, thereby setting up a negative feedback loop. The transcription of the CDC20 APC (anaphase promoting complex) activator is repressed by Yox1p and kept very low during S phase. Upon mitotic onset, Yox1p abundance declines and the CDC20 gene is actively transcribed. Cdc28p negatively regulates YOX1 transcription, thereby keeping intracellular levels of Yox1p low, and promoting the transcription of CDC20. Yox1p is an unstable protein, so that suppression of its transcription results in rapid reduction of intracellular protein levels.

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.
