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 mutation confers sensitivity to copper ions and increases replicative lifespan; in systematic studies, null mutation causes inositol auxotrophy in diploid, and increased competitive fitness and increased lifespan in haploids

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
- CUP9 encodes a homeodomain-containing transcriptional repressor. Its most well-characterized target is the PTR2 gene encoding a major dipeptide and tripeptide transporter. Cup9p forms a complex with corepressors Tup1p and Cyc8p (Ssn6p) to repress PTR2 transcription. In strains of W303 background, CUP9 behaves genetically as an activator of DAL5, another transporter whose substrates include dipeptides; however, it is not known whether this effect is direct. Cup9p activity is regulated by ubiquitin-mediated degradation. When dipeptides are present, they enhance the activity of the Ubr1p and Ufd4p E3 ubiquitin ligases, which ubiquitinate Cup9p to target it for degradation. When Cup9p is degraded, PTR2 transcription is derepressed and dipeptide import is induced. Mutations in CUP9 can confer sensitivity to copper, but the mechanism is unknown.
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).
