ARG80 — Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c

Summary

YMR042W in Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288c encodes a MADS-box transcription factor of the SRF-like family, possessing DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II and protein dimerization activity. The gene is associated with the regulation of arginine metabolism, urea metabolism, sulfur amino acid anabolism, and membrane lipid anabolism. It is associated with pseudohyphal growth regulation, mating type determination, and negative regulation of gene expression. The encoded protein localizes to chromatin and the nucleus. Associations with traits include amino acid content and oxidative stress. Phenotypic connections include altered vegetative growth, increased innate thermotolerance, abnormal chemical compound accumulation, and altered resistance to chemicals. The gene is also linked to the related MCM1 gene.
