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
Inorganic phosphate transmembrane transporter involved in phosphate ion transport, polyphosphate metabolism and phosphate sensing; contains manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity and selenite:proton symporter activity involved in the transport of selenite across the plasma membrane; involved in myo-inositol export; integral component of the plasma membrane; also localizes to the vacuole lumen and 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
PHO84/YML123C is a non-essential gene; null mutant is viable, fails to grow in low-phosphate medium, does not take up inorganic phosphate, fails to accumulate polyphosphate, has reduced competitive fitness in a variety of media, and altered resistance to various chemicals; ts mutant has elevated acid phosphatase activity at elevated temperature in the presence of inorganic phosphate
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.

Regulation Details

Regulation

The number of putative Regulators (genes that regulate it) and Targets (genes it regulates) for the given locus, based on experimental evidence. This evidence includes data generated through high-throughput techniques. Click "Regulation Details" to view all regulation annotations, shared GO enrichment among regulation Targets, and a regulator/target diagram for the locus.


Summary
PHO84/YML123C promoter is bound by Med2p, Wtm2p, and Xbp1p in response to heat; PHO84 transcription is upregulated by Znf1p during xylose fermentation; Pho84 protein stability is regulated by Rsp5p; Pho84 protein activity is regulated by Cdc28p
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.
