GLN3 — Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c

Summary

YER040W (GLN3) on Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome V encodes a GATA-type zinc-finger transcription factor that binds sequence-specific DNA and can act as both an activator and repressor of RNA polymerase II transcription. The gene is associated with glutamate anabolism, response to starvation and rapamycin, vacuole fusion, cold acclimation, UV protection, vanillin metabolism, cannabinoid anabolism, hydrogen biosynthesis, retinol transport, lignin anabolism, light absorption, succinate transport, and intracellular transport. It localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, cytosol, and cell division site. GLN3 is linked to numerous traits including nitrogen content, protein content, starch content, sugar content, anthocyanin content, lignin content, cellulose content, ash content, biomass yield, relative growth rate, root volume, root length, transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, drought tolerance, and oxidative stress. Phenotypic associations include increased chronological lifespan, increased stress resistance, altered filamentous and invasive growth, decreased vegetative growth, and altered nitrogen source utilisation.
