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.

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
- PDC2 encodes a transcriptional activator without overall similarity to known transcription factor families. Pdc2p is essential for transcriptional activation of genes involved in thiamin pyrophosphate (TPP; also known as ThDP) biosynthesis, such as PHO3, THI4, and THI20, in response to thiamin deprivation. Pdc2p also activates transcription of the PDC1 and PDC5 genes, encoding pyruvate decarboxylases involved in alcoholic fermentation. Pdc2p can bind independently to target promoters, but many of its thiamin biosynthetic gene targets are shared with those of the transcription factor Thi2p, and binding of Pdc2p to promoters is enhanced in the presence of Pdc2p and another regulatory protein, Thi3p, that binds both Pdc2p and Thi2p. In the absence of thiamin, Thi3p interaction with Pdc2p and Thi2p allows them to activate transcription, possibly by a conformational change that unmasks their activation domains. In the presence of TPP (i.e., under thiamin-replete conditions), Thi3p binding to TPP releases it from Pdc2p and Thi2p, de-activating them. Pdc2p activates transcription of PDC5 independently of Thi2p and Thi3p, but in a thiamine-dependent manner. In contrast, Pdc2p activates transcription of PDC1 constitutively.
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).
