AFT1

RCS1, DNA-binding transcription factor AFT1, L000002660, L000001594, YGL071W
Transcription factor involved in iron utilization and homeostasis; binds consensus site PyPuCACCCPu and activates transcription in response to changes in iron availability; in iron-replete conditions localization is regulated by Grx3p, Grx4p, and Fra2p, and promoter binding is negatively regulated via Grx3p-Grx4p binding; AFT1 has a paralog, AFT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

AFT2

YPL202C
Iron-regulated transcriptional activator; activates genes involved in intracellular iron use and required for iron homeostasis and resistance to oxidative stress; AFT2 has a paralog, AFT1, that arose from the whole genome duplication

Synthetic Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in a significant growth defect under a given condition when combined in the same cell.

Role of the iron mobilization and oxidative stress regulons in the genomic response of yeast to hydroxyurea.

Dubacq C, Chevalier A, Courbeyrette R, Petat C, Gidrol X, Mann C

Hydroxyurea (HU) is a specific inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase and thus impairs dNTP synthesis and DNA replication. The long-term transcriptional response of yeast cells to hydroxyurea was investigated using DNA microarrays containing all yeast coding sequences. We show that the redox-responsive Yap regulon and the iron-mobilization Aft regulon are activated in yeast cells treated with HU. Yap1 accumulates in the ... [more]

Additional Notes

  • The aft1 aft2 double mutant was sensitive to hydroxyurea (HU) and could not grow on an iron-deprived synthetic medium.
