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.
Summary
Protein involved in histone H3 acetylation, regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; localizes to nucleus and mitochondria
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.
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 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 in reference strain S288C; null mutant has decreased competitive fitness in minimal medium, YPD, synthetic complete, and YPD with ethanol but increased fitness with ethanol alone; decreased hyperosmotic stress resistance and broad chemical sensitivity including DNA-damaging agents (hydroxyurea, bleomycin, methyl methanesulfonate), fluconazole, cycloheximide, 6-azauracil, caffeine, and radicicol but increased resistance to quinine, tunicamycin, and higher concentrations of methyl methanesulfonate; increased oxidative stress resistance; decreased acetate utilization but increased respiratory growth rate on glycerol; small vacuolar fragmentation defects; is haploinsufficient
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
NUT1 (also called MED5) encodes a component of the tail module of the Mediator transcriptional regulation complex. The Mediator complex is highly conserved from yeast to human, and is a central player in the transcriptional regulation of protein-coding genes, being required for nearly all transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Mediator bridges activators and the general transcription machinery. The core Mediator complex contains three distinct head, middle, and tail modules. Nut1p, Pgd1p, Med2p, Sin4p, and Gal11p are part of the tail module, which has a gene-selective, as opposed to a general, role in transcription, and is largely dedicated to the activation of genes involved in cellular responses to environmental signals. Tail components interact with gene-specific transcriptional activators such as Gcn4p. By interacting with activators, Mediator tail module subunits signal through the head and middle modules, which interact with general transcription factors and RNAPII subunits, to the basal transcription machinery to regulate transcription initiation. The tail module preferentially targets stress-regulated, TATA-containing, SAGA- and Swi/Snf-dependent genes, and may function along with specific chromatin regulators to provide a platform for pre-initiation complex (PIC) formation at these highly regulated loci. Subunits of the Mediator tail module are also required for the activation of metabolic genes. Nut1p is less highly conserved than other tail components, and it is not completely clear whether orthologs exist in higher eukaryotes.
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.
