SUT1 | Sterol uptake protein 1; Zn(II)2Cys6 family transcription factor; positively regulates sterol uptake genes under anaerobic conditions; involved in hypoxic gene expression; represses filamentation-inducing genes during vegetative growth; positively regulates mating with SUT2 by repressing expression of genes that act as mating inhibitors; repressed by STE12; relocalizes from the nucleus to the cytoplasm upon DNA replication stress; SUT1 has a paralog, SUT2, that arose from the whole genome duplication. (299 aa) | ||||
UPC2 | Sterol uptake control protein 2; Sterol regulatory element binding protein; induces sterol biosynthetic genes, upon sterol depletion; acts as a sterol sensor, binding ergosterol in sterol rich conditions; relocates from intracellular membranes to perinuclear foci upon sterol depletion; redundant activator of filamentation with ECM22, up-regulating the expression of filamentous growth genes; contains a Zn[2]-Cys[6] binuclear cluster; UPC2 has a paralog, ECM22, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
