- Description
- Transcriptional regulator; functions primarily as a transcriptional co-repressor with Tup1p but can also function as a transcriptional co-activator with Tup1p that recruits the SWI/SNF and SAGA complexes to promoters; target genes may be uniquely repressed by Cyc8p or Tup1p, subject to redundant repression, or in some cases de-repression of target genes in a cyc8 mutant is dependent upon TUP1 and vice versa; can form the prion [OCT+] 2 3 4 5

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.

Complex
Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.
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
- Cyc8p (also known as Ssn6p) acts with its partner Tup1p as a corepressor to regulate the expression of multiple genes under a variety of conditions. Tup1p-Cyc8p does not bind to DNA directly but is recruited to specific promoters by DNA binding proteins such as Alpha2p, Mig1p, and Crt1p. Evidence suggests that Tup1p-Cyc8p represses transcription by masking and inhibiting the transcriptional activation domains of the recruiting proteins. Tup1p interacts directly with histones H3 and H4, and mutation of these histones synergistically compromises Tup1p-Cyc8p-mediated repression. Histone hyperacetylation caused by combined mutations in genes encoding the histone deacetylases Rpd3p, Hos1p, and Hos2p abolishes repression by Tup1p-Cyc8p. Regulatory regions bound by Tup1p assume a distinct chromatin architecture including nucleosome-depleted regions, poorly positioned promoter nucleosomes and a larger number and wider distribution of accessible transcription factor binding sites. The Tup1p-Cyc8p corepressor complex is composed of one Cyc8p and four Tup1p subunits.
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).
