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 mutants grow slowly, have abnormal vacuolar morphology, decreased ethanol tolerance, small cells and nuclei, slow G1 phase progression, abnormal budding, and are sensitive to DNA-damaging agents, caffeine, heat, and various drugs; homozygous diploid nulls tolerate zinc deficiency, cannot sporulate; overexpression slows growth, interferes with silencing, and can be lethal in S288C; overexpression enhances pseudohyphal growth in Sigma1278b

- Summary
- SFP1 encodes a zinc-coordinating transcription factor of the beta-beta-alpha zinc finger family. Sfp1p regulates the expression of nearly 10% of yeast genes, including those involved in ribosome biogenesis and the regulation of cell size, and can form the amyloid-based [ISP+] prion. Sfp1p activity is regulated by localization to the nucleus, where it activates the transcription of ribosome biogenesis and ribosomal protein genes, likely by controlling the localization of the transcription factors Fhl1p and Ifh1p. Under nutrient limitation or chemical stress, Sfp1p is retained in the cytoplasm by Mrs6p, a component of the secretory pathway. Sfp1p is directly phosphorylated at multiple residues by TORC1, with crosstalk to the PKA pathway. Sfp1p negatively regulates TORC1 phosphorylation of Sch9p, the other key target of TOR in the control of ribosome biogenesis, revealing a negative feedback mechanism that regulates ribosomal protein and ribosome biogenesis gene transcription. Sfp1p remains cytoplasmic when Tor1p is inhibited by rapamycin. In [ISP+] strains, Sfp1p forms aggregates in the nucleus.
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).
