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. 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 have abnormal vacuolar morphology, reduced silencing at mating-type loci and abnormal mating-type switching; nulls are also sensitive to heat, and exhibit altered rates of cell cycle progression through the S and G2/M phases; overexpression slows growth

- null
- overexpression
- null

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.

- Summary
- FKH1 encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the widely conserved eukaryotic forkhead family of proteins, which contain the characteristic forkhead (FH), or winged helix, DNA-binding domain. Many forkhead proteins also have a second domain referred to as the forkhead-associated (FHA) domain which binds phosphorylated threonine residues within proteins. Fkh1p has both FH and FHA domains, and is involved in regulation of expression of the CLB2 cluster of genes during the G2/M phase of the mitotic cell cycle. The CLB2 cluster of genes includes mitotic regulators such as CLB1, CLB2, CDC5 and CDC20, as well as SWI5 and ACE2, transcription factors required for the subsequent temporal wave of cell cycle regulated gene expression in the M/G1 phase interval. Fkh1p cooperates with Isw1p to remodel chromatin and repress transcription of CLB2 during G2/M. Fkh1p associates with coding regions of active genes to regulate transcription by affecting the phosphorylation status of the C-terminal repeat domain (CTD) of RNA Polymerase II. The Fkh1p binding site 5'-GTAAACAAA-3' is present in over 1400 locations throughout the genome. FKH1 has additional roles in the establishment of chromatin silencing at the silent mating-type cassette and in the regulation of donor preference during mating type switching. FKH1 and the Swi4p/Swi6p-containing SCB-binding factor (SBF) independently regulate donor preference through direct interactions with a cis-acting sequence called the recombination enhancer, with Fkh1p binding in the G2 phase and SBF binding in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.
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).
