Characteristics/Function

Gis1p

4.76

1.9 × 10-14

TWAGGGAT, AGGGG

 

JmjC domain-containing histone demethylase; transcription factor involved in the expression of genes during nutrient limitation; also involved in the negative regulation of DPP1 and PHR1

Sut1p

4.41

5.3 × 10-4

CGCG

*

Transcription factor of the Zn [II]2Cys6 family involved in sterol uptake; involved in induction of hypoxic gene expression

Cst6p

4.27

5.1 × 10-13

TGACGTCA, TTACGTAA

*

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor of the ATF/CREB family, activates transcription of genes involved in utilization of non-optimal carbon sources; involved in telomere maintenance

Pdr3p

4.26

3.1 × 10-10

TCCGCGGA

*

Transcriptional activator of the pleiotropic drug resistance network, regulates expression of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters through binding to cis-acting sites known as PDREs (PDR responsive elements)

Rgt1p

3.95

3.7 × 10-4

CGGANNA

*

Glucose-responsive transcription factor that regulates expression of several glucose transporter (HXT) genes in response to glucose; binds to promoters and acts both as a transcriptional activator and repressor

Xbp1p

3.82

6.9 × 10-8

GCCTCGARMGA

*

Transcriptional repressor that binds to promoter sequences of the cyclin genes, CYS3, and SMF2; expression is induced by stress or starvation during mitosis, and late in meiosis; member of the Swi4p/Mbp1p family; potential Cdc28p substrate

Mig1p

3.51

1.4 × 10-5

W(4-5)GCGGGG

*

Transcription factor involved in glucose repression; sequence specific DNA binding protein containing two Cys2His2 zinc finger motifs; regulated by the SNF1 kinase and the GLC7 phosphatase

Gat4p

3.48

5.8 × 10-4

GATA

 

Protein containing GATA family zinc finger motifs

Ino2p

3.37

1.6 × 10-5

WYTTCAYRTGS

*

Component of the heteromeric Ino2p/Ino4p basic helix-loop-helix transcription activator that binds inositol/choline-responsive elements (ICREs), required for derepression of phospholipid biosynthetic genes in response to inositol depletion

Rfx1p

3.25

7.7 × 10-5

TCRYYRYRGCAAC

*

Protein involved in DNA damage and replication checkpoint pathway; recruits repressors Tup1p and Cyc8p to promoters of DNA damage-inducible genes; similar to a family of mammalian DNA binding RFX1-4 proteins

Gcr2p

3.17

3.6 × 10-5

CTTCC, CWTCC (Gcr1p)

 

Transcriptional activator of genes involved in glycolysis; interacts and functions with the DNA binding protein Gcr1p

Stp1p

3.13

1.4 × 10-4

CGGCN(6)CGGC

*

Transcription factor, activated by proteolytic processing in response to signals from the SPS sensor system for external amino acids; activates transcription of amino acid permease genes and may have a role in tRNA processing

Stp2p

3.02

2.0 × 10-6

CGGGGTGN(7)CGCACCG

*

Transcription factor, activated by proteolytic processing in response to signals from the SPS sensor system for external amino acids; activates transcription of amino acid permease genes

Adr1p

3.01

4.6 × 10-8

TTGGRGN(6-38)CYCCAA

 

Carbon source-responsive zinc-finger transcription factor, required for transcription of the glucose-repressed gene ADH2, of peroxisomal protein genes, and of genes required for ethanol, glycerol, and fatty acid utilization
