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
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 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.

- Summary
- NRG1 encodes a transcriptional repressor that is a member of the C2H2 zinc finger class. Nrg1p, along with its paralog Nrg2p, responds to glucose signals received via Snf1p kinase, and to stress signals received via the Rim101p transcriptional repressor. Nrg1p and Nrg2p regulate a variety of processes, including response to glucose levels; response to alkaline pH and to salt, osmotic, and oxidative stress; filamentous growth; and biofilm formation. Some major targets of Nrg1p and Nrg2p include FLO11, encoding a cell surface adhesin, ENA1, encoding a plasma membrane salt efflux pump, and SUC2, encoding extracellular invertase. The set of genes regulated by Nrg1p overlaps with, but is not identical to, the set regulated by Nrg2p. Some targets repressed by Nrg1p but apparently not by Nrg2p include RSB1, encoding a lipid translocase that regulates plasma membrane lipid composition, and DIT1, encoding an enzyme required for spore wall maturation. Nrg1p represses transcription by recruiting the Cyc8p-Tup1p complex to promoters. NRG1 expression and Nrg1p activity are regulated on multiple levels. NRG1 transcription is glucose-repressed and is up-regulated at acidic pH, in contrast to NRG2 transcription which does not respond to glucose levels and is up-regulated at alkaline pH. Stability of the NRG1 mRNA is negatively regulated via mRNA decay, and activity of Nrg1p is regulated via phosphorylation by protein kinase CK2 in response to salt, osmotic, and other stresses.
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.
