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.

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
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.

- Non-essential gene; null mutant has large cells, abnormal cell walls, and is sensitive to DNA damage, antifungals, alcohols, cold; homozygous diploid null shows a G2/M phase transition delay, and is impaired in sporulation; overexpression slows growth, interferes with silencing and budding

- Summary
- SWI4 encodes a transcription factor of the Ig-fold superfamily, which contacts DNA using a series of flexible loops. As part of the SBF complex (Swi4p/Swi6p cell-cycle box (SCB) binding factor), Swi4p binds and activates G1/S genes with SCB-containing promoters, including G1 cyclins (CLN1, CLN2, PCL1, PCL2) and the HO endonuclease. Swi4p recognizes sequences of the form 5'-ACGCGAAA-3'. Swi4p binding DNA requires association with Swi6p, and is restricted to late M and G1, when Swi6p is located in the nucleus. Free Swi4p is subject to intramolecular interactions that physically prevent DNA binding. Association with Swi6p induces conformational changes in Swi4p which alleviate this inhibition, allowing Swi4p to bind DNA. SWI4 transcription is activated in late M/early G1 phase by an early cell cycle box (ECB), and the SWI4 promoter also contains binding sites for the SBF and MBF (Mbp1p/Swi6p cell-cycle box (MCB) binding factor) complexes, which confer late G1-specific transcription. This promoter structure ensures that Swi4p activity persists throughout G1, enabling sufficient quantities of its targets to be expressed to promote the transition to S phase.
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).
