Curated mutant alleles for the specified gene, listed alphabetically. Click on the allele name to open the allele page. Click "SGD search" to view all alleles in search results.
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.

DNA-binding transcription factor involved in regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. And transcription elongation by RNA polymerase II promoter; localizes to nucleus
Functional Networks display how gene products work together in biological systems. The Shared Annotations
network shows genes with similar GO annotations, suggesting functional relationships. GO-CAMs (Gene
Ontology Causal Activity Models) are manually curated pathway models that illustrate how molecular
activities of multiple gene products connect through causal relationships to carry out biological
processes. GO-CAMs integrate Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component information
into unified pathway representations based on published experimental evidence. Click "View GO-CAM at Gene
Ontology" to explore the interactive model at AmiGO.
Click on a gene or Biological Process GO term name to go to its specific page within SGD; drag any of the gene or GO
term name objects around within the visualization for easier viewing; click “Reset” to automatically redraw the
diagram; filter the genes that share GO Biological Process terms with the given gene by the number of terms they
share by clicking anywhere on the slider bar or dragging the tab to the desired filter number.
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
STB5/YHR178W is a non-essential gene in reference strain S288C; deletion (stb5Δ) is viable but causes broadly reduced vegetative and competitive growth, cold sensitivity, abnormal vacuolar morphology in high salt, and impaired nitrogen metabolism (slower ammonium use, absent allantoin use) with myo‑inositol auxotrophy. Metabolic/redox balance shifts: NADPH decreases in stb5Δ (increases with overexpression), zinc accumulates while zinc tolerance falls, RNA/protein homeostasis is altered, and autophagy rises under nitrogen starvation; transposon activity is also perturbed. Stress phenotypes are mixed: oxidative stress tolerance generally drops (paraquat, H2O2, azobis DMF), yet thermotolerance improves (reduced heat sensitivity and enhanced survival after heat shock), and chronological lifespan increases. stb5Δ is hypersensitive to many chemicals including caffeine, SDS, cycloheximide/hygromycin B, arsenite, chromium, acetaldehyde, glyoxal, acrolein, pentanol, 5‑fluorouracil, cordycepin, sorbate, DMSO, and zinc, but shows increased resistance to sirolimus/rapamycin, myriocin, 2,4‑diacetylphloroglucinol, and certain metals (cadmium, mercury). Toxin responses vary, with decreased resistance to Aβ42.
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
STB5 encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the C6 zinc finger class, containing a DNA binding domain also known as the Zn2Cys6 binuclear zinc cluster or zinc knuckle. Stb5p activates transcription of genes involved in the pentose phosphate pathway and the regulation of NADPH production. It is required for normal resistance to acetaldehyde, diamide, and other oxidizing agents. It is also responsive to stress, binding to a wider range of genomic sites under oxidative stress conditions than under normal conditions. Most of the known targets of Stb5p, such as genes of the pentose phosphate and ergosterol biosynthetic pathways and the ATR1 and PDR12 drug efflux pumps, are transcriptionally activated by Stb5p. However, Stb5p represses transcription of at least one gene, PGI1. As a heterodimer with Pdr1p, Stb5p also activates transcription of genes involved in pleiotropic drug resistance, such as the ATP-binding cassette transporter genes PDR5, SNQ2, and YOR1, whose products mediate drug efflux from the cell. Stb5p binds to its own promoter, suggesting that its transcription is autoregulated.
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.
