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.

- overexpression
Large-scale Survey
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
- RGT1 encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the C6 zinc finger class, containing a DNA binding domain also known as the Zn2Cys6 binuclear zinc cluster or zinc knuckle. Rgt1p has a role in regulation of glucose uptake. In the absence of glucose, Rgt1p binds to multiple consensus sites upstream of the promoters of its target genes to repress their transcription by recruiting the general repressors Cyc8p and Tup1p. The major targets of Rgt1p repression include the hexose transporter genes (HXT1-7) and the hexokinase gene HXK2. Rgt1p acts in concert with two paralogous corepressors, Mth1p and Std1p, which bind to it. In the presence of glucose, Mth1p and Std1p are phosphorylated by the protein kinase Yck1p, signaling their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the 26S proteasome. When Mth1p and Std1p are removed, Rgt1p is a target for phosphorylation by Protein Kinase A via the cAMP/PKA pathway. Phosphorylated Rgt1p is unable to bind DNA and therefore unable to repress transcription. Under high glucose conditions, Rgt1p is hyperphosphorylated, which converts it into a transcriptional activator; it is required under these conditions for full expression of HXT1.
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).
