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
- ARF1 encodes a small GTPase of the Ras superfamily that acts as an ADP ribosylation factor with a critical role in control of membrane traffic. ARF1 has a paralog, ARF2, that appears to be functionally interchangeable with ARF1. The activity of Arf1p or Arf2p (ARF) is essential to initiate the formation of COPI vesicles at the Golgi membrane that carry out retrograde transport between the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum, and within the Golgi compartments. ARF exists in an inactive GDP-bound form in the cytosol and an active GTP-bound form associated with the membranes. The exchange of GDP for GTP on ARF is catalyzed by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEFs) Sec7p, Gea1p, Gea2p, and Syt1p. Activation of ARF triggers a conformational change that exposes its N-terminal domain to be inserted into membranes. Membrane-bound GTP-ARF then stimulates the recruitment of COPI coat proteins (Cop1p, Ret2p, Ret3p, Sec21p, Sec26p, Sec27p) and formation of the COPI vesicle. The subsequent steps of vesicle budding and delivery to its target membrane require inactivation of ARF, i.e. hydrolysis of ARF-bound GTP. Since ARF has very little intrinsic GTPase activity, this step depends on GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) Gcs1p and Glo3p. The precise mechanisms that control GEFs and GAPs functions and thereby impact ARF activity remain to be elucidated. The entire control system is highly conserved throughout evolution and human ARF genes (ARF1, ARF4, ARF5, or ARF6) can complement inactivation of ARF1 and ARF2 genes in yeast.

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.
