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
DNA binding protein and RNA polymerase II general transcription initiation factor involved in chromatin remodeling, histone acetylation, transcription by RNA polymerase II and transcription initiation at RNA polymerase II promoter; subunit of Ino80 and NuA3 histone acetyltransferase; 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.
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
TAF14/YPL129W is a non-essential gene; null mutants are viable, slow-growing, and associated with a range of phenotypes that significantly influence cellular behavior and overall fitness. Mutants lacking TAF14 exhibit decreased resistance to acidic pH levels, which may compromise their survival in acidic environments. The morphology of the actin cytoskeleton and buds is abnormal, potentially disrupting normal cellular structure and division processes. Additionally, these mutants experience an increased duration of cell cycle progression during the G1 phase, leading to delays in cell division. While cell size is increased, the chronological lifespan of these mutants is decreased, indicating a trade-off between growth and longevity. Competitive fitness is impaired, resulting in decreased viability in resource-limited environments. Endocytosis is also reduced, which may hinder nutrient uptake and cellular function. The growth rate during the exponential phase is diminished, and these mutants show increased sensitivity to heat, making them more vulnerable to elevated temperatures. Resistance to hydrostatic pressure, hyperosmotic stress, and metal exposure is decreased, further highlighting their compromised resilience. Additionally, osmotic stress resistance is reduced, and the ability to withstand enzymatic treatment is diminished. Shmoo formation, a response to mating signals, is abnormal in these mutants, which may affect reproductive success. The subcellular morphology is also altered, and transposable element transposition is decreased, indicating disruptions in genomic stability. Resistance to ultraviolet radiation is reduced, and vacuolar morphology is abnormal, which could impact cellular storage and waste management. Conditional mutants have abnormal bud morphology. When TAF14 is overexpressed, there is an increase in colony sectoring, and abnormal silencing.
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.

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
