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.
- Summary
- Heterotrimeric G-protein complex GTPase involved in pheromone signaling and desensitization during mating; plays a role in mating-related nuclear migration and karyogamy; also involved in inositol lipid-mediated signaling, regulation of MAPK export from the nucleus, and the heterotrimeric G-protein complex cycle; localizes to the plasma membrane and endosome

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.
- Summary
- GPA1/YHR005C is a non-essential gene; null mutants exhibit increased cell size, abnormal cell shape, and abnormal liquid culture appearance. They are viable with increased chronological lifespan and overall lifespan, but show absent respiratory growth, decreased sporulation efficiency, decreased starvation resistance, and decreased vegetative growth. Null mutants are impaired in mating response. Repressible mutants display arrested and abnormal cell cycle progression in the G1 phase, abnormal cell shape, and abnormal nuclear position. Reduction of function mutants show decreased competitive fitness and absence of pheromone-induced cell cycle arrest. Overexpression of GPA1 results in abnormal nuclear position and decreased pheromone sensitivity. Activation mutants exhibit arrested cell cycle progression, decreased protein transport, and decreased vegetative growth. Conditional mutants show arrested cell cycle progression in the G1 phase, increased heat sensitivity, decreased nuclear fusion during mating, abnormal nuclear position, abnormal protein/peptide distribution, and increased RNA accumulation.

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).
