What's a GeneRIF?

Data indicate that Rgt1 and tpk1/2/3 (cAMP-dependent protein kinases) participate in the control of SUC2 expression.
Title: The repressor Rgt1 and the cAMP-dependent protein kinases control the expression of the SUC2 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Data show that Pph3-Psy2 targets the glucose signal transducer protein Mth1, which is required for the dephosphorylation of Rgt1 upon glucose withdrawal, a critical event in the repression of HXT genes, which encode glucose transporters.
Title: Psy2 targets the PP4 family phosphatase Pph3 to dephosphorylate Mth1 and repress glucose transporter gene expression.
DNA-binding properties of the yeast RGT1 repressor are reported.
Title: DNA-binding properties of the yeast Rgt1 repressor.
Rgt1 binds to the RGT1 element of HXK2 promoter in a glucose-dependent manner, and the repression of target gene depends on binding of Rgt1 to DNA.
Title: Rgt1, a glucose sensing transcription factor, is required for transcriptional repression of the HXK2 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
RGT1 is a transcription factor that regulates expression of HXT genes encoding glucose transporters. It represses HXT gene expression in the absence of glucose; high levels of glucose cause RGT1 to activate expression of HXT1.
Title: How the Rgt1 transcription factor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by glucose.
Data show that two different glucose signal transduction pathways converge on Rgt1 to regulate expression of HXT glucose transporters.
Title: Two glucose-sensing pathways converge on Rgt1 to regulate expression of glucose transporter genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Preferred Names: Rgt1p

NP_012886.3

Glucose-responsive transcription factor; regulates expression of several glucose transporter (HXT) genes in response to glucose; binds to promoters and acts both as a transcriptional activator and repressor; recruits Tup1p/Cyc8p to target gene promoters; RGT1 has a paralog, EDS1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
