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.

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.

- Summary
- WHI5 encodes a transcriptional repressor involved in control of G1/S transition in the mitotic cell cycle. During the early G1 phase, Whi5p inhibits transcription of genes required for cell cycle progression into the S phase by binding to the transcriptional activator Swi4p-Swi6p complex (SBF) at target promoters. At the onset of G1/S transition, Whi5p is phosphorylated by the CDK-Cyclin complex, Cdc28p-Cln3p, which triggers its dissociation from SBF and exit from nucleus. Subsequent weak activation of transcription results in accumulation of cyclins Cln1p and Cln2p that in turn stimulate Cdc28p to further phosphorylate and inactivate Whi5p. Removal of Whi5p inhibition allows transcriptional activators SBF and MBF (Mbp1p-Swi6p) to activate transcription of over 200 genes that contain SCB (Swi4/6-dependent cell cycle box) or MCB (Mlu1 cell cycle box) regulatory elements in their promoters. Among those genes are the S-phase cyclins that initiate DNA synthesis. Whi5p re-appears in the nucleus after completion of mitosis and elimination of the CDK activity by the mitotic exit network (MEN). Despite sharing no sequence similarity, Whi5p is functionally analogous in cell cycle control to human retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor protein.

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).
