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 mutant is slow-growing and cold-sensitive, also displays increased sensitivity to oxidative stress and ethanol, but increased resistance to benomyl; overexpression results in elevated mitotic recombination; in systematic studies mutants exhibit reduced competitive fitness

- Summary
- CST6 encodes a transcriptional activator of the ATF/CREB family, containing a bZIP structural motif which consists of a leucine zipper that mediates dimerization and an adjacent basic region that contacts DNA. Cst6p binds as a homodimer to the ATF/CREB consensus sequence TGACGTCA, and with comparable efficiency to ATF/CREB sites with single or double substitutions at positions +/- 2. Cst6p can also bind ATF/CREB sites as a heterodimer with Aca1p. Cst6p is important for a variety of biological processes including growth on nonoptimal carbon sources and resistance to a variety of drugs. Target genes include GRE2 and COS8. Cst6p-dependent activation is regulated to some extent by carbon source.
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.
Literature
