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.


Summary
DNA helicase and telomerase inhibitor; binds single-stranded DNA and G-quadruplex DNA; has multiple roles in chromosome organization including DNA strand renaturation, G-quadruplex DNA unwinding, and telomere maintenance; involved in DNA recombination, double-strand break repair via break-induced replication, and replication fork reversal; also involved in mitochondrial genome maintenance; localizes to the nucleus, replication fork, mitochondrion, and mitochondrial membrane

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 shows elevated frequency of mutations and gross chromosomal rearrangements; null mutant accumulates more iron than wild type in mitochondria and cytoplasm, and more zinc in mitochondria; null mutant is sensitive to DNA damaging agents and oxidative stress but resistant to Zn++; inheritance of the mitochondrial genome is defective in the null mutant; in large-scale studies, null mutant shows respiratory growth defect, small cell size, reduced competitive fitness in a variety of different media, lengthened telomeres, and altered resistance to various chemicals
Disease Details

Disease

Disease Annotations consist of three mandatory components: a gene product, a term from the Disease Ontology (DO) controlled vocabulary and an evidence code. SGD provides manually curated DO Annotations derived from the literature. Click "Disease Details" to view all Disease information and evidence for this locus as well as diseases it shares with other genes.


Summary
Yeast PIF1 is homologous to human PIF1, and has been used to study mutations found in patients with cancer and progeria

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.

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.
