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.

Complex
Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.
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.
Classical Genetics
- reduction of function
- null
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. Click "Interaction Details" to view all interaction annotations and evidence for this locus, including an interaction visualization.

- Summary
- TFC7 encodes one of six subunits of RNA polymerase III (pol III) transcription factor TFIIIC, which is composed of Tfc1p, Tfc3p, Tfc4p, Tfc6p, Tfc7p, and Tfc8p. Genes that are transcribed by pol III, all encoding small RNAs such as tRNAs, 5S rRNA genes, and U6 spliceosomal RNA, contain two conserved promoter elements termed the A and B boxes. The A box is bound by the TA subcomplex of TFIIIC, and the B box is bound by the TB subcomplex. Tfc7p is part of the TA subcomplex of TFIIIC, along with Tfc1p and Tfc4p. During pol III transcription initiation, TFIIIC first binds to DNA and then recruits the subunits of TFIIIB: Brf1p, Bdp1p, and Spt15p (also known as TATA-binding protein). The major role of TFIIIC is to facilitate the assembly of TFIIIB, which is a requirement for pol III transcription initiation. TFIIIC is also involved in transcription reinitiation by pol III, and its binding to chromatin may have a regulatory role in the determination of chromatin structure.
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
All manually curated literature for the specified gene, organized into topics according to their relevance to the gene (Primary Literature, Additional Literature, or Review). Click "Literature Details" to view all literature information for this locus, including shared literature between genes.
