GAL80 — Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c

Summary

YML051W (GAL80) on chromosome XIII of Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c encodes a protein with nucleotide and DNA binding capabilities and redox activity. The gene is associated with a wide range of biological processes, including L-fucose, GDP-L-fucose, mannose, carotene, carotenoid, and astaxanthin anabolism, as well as galactose breakdown, ethanol fermentation, signal transduction, and response to copper. It is also linked to traits such as lycopene, beta-carotene, and carotene content, and biomass yield. Phenotypic associations include increased vegetative, respiratory, and invasive growth, decreased cell size, UV resistance, chronological lifespan, and competitive fitness, along with abnormal vacuolar morphology and increased transposable element transposition. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidoreductase activity.
