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
- GAT1 encodes a transcription factor that is a member of the C4 or GATA class. The transcriptional activators Gat1p and Gln3p and the repressors Dal80p and Gzf3p, all members of the GATA class with homologous zinc fingers, bind to the same core consensus sequence and collectively regulate the nitrogen catabolite repression (NCR) pathway, which controls a set of at least 90 genes required for uptake and utilization of different nitrogen sources. Gat1p is required for promoter binding of Gln3p. Because transcription of GAT1 is regulated by all four NCR regulators, including itself, it is an important component in integration of nutritional signals via the differential regulation of its regulators. Gat1p activity is also regulated: physical interaction with Gzf3p in the nucleus decreases the promoter binding of Gat1p. In addition, the four GATA factors interact with each other to form homodimers or multiple different heterodimers, allowing for fine-tuning of NCR regulation.
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).
