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.

Molecular Function

Biological Process

Manually Curated

Cellular Component

Manually Curated

Complex

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 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
Non-essential gene; null mutants grow slowly, have shortened lifespan, decreased fitness and ethanol tolerance, abnormal morphology of vacuoles and buds, are sensitive to preservatives, antibiotics, heat, osmotic stress, dessication; homozygous diploid nulls cannot sporulate; overexpression affects chromatin silencing
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.

Summary
NGG1 (also called ADA3) encodes a component of three chromatin modifying histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes: SAGA, SLIK, and ADA. These complexes function in positive and negative transcriptional regulation of numerous RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes; in addition, SLIK plays a role in the retrograde response. The three complexes each contain the histone acetyltransferase catalytic subunit Gcn5p, which interacts directly with Ada2p and preferentially modifies histones H3 and H2B. In vitro, Gcn5p acetylates N-terminal lysines on free histones, but acetylation of nucleosomal histone substrates also requires Ada2p and Ngg1p, which are found in a complex with Gcn5p. Ada2p has been shown to increase the HAT activity of Gcn5p, while Ngg1p plays a role in expanding the range of lysines that undergo acetylation.

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.
