Nitrogen regulatory protein DAL80; Negative regulator of genes in multiple nitrogen degradation pathways; expression is regulated by nitrogen levels and by Gln3p; member of the GATA-binding family, forms homodimers and heterodimers with Gzf3p; DAL80 has a paralog, GZF3, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Forkhead transcription factor; drives S-phase activation of genes involved in chromosome segregation, spindle dynamics, budding; also activates genes involved in respiration, use of alternative energy sources (like proline), NAD synthesis, oxidative stress resistance; key factor in early adaptation to nutrient deficiency and diauxic shift; suppressor of calmodulin mutants with specific SPB assembly defects; ortholog of C. elegans lifespan regulator PHA-4.

Transcriptional regulatory protein GAT1; Transcriptional activator of nitrogen catabolite repression genes; contains a GATA-1-type zinc finger DNA-binding motif; activity and localization regulated by nitrogen limitation and Ure2p; different translational starts produce two major and two minor isoforms that are differentially regulated and localized.

Nitrogen regulatory protein GLN3; Transcriptional activator of genes regulated by nitrogen catabolite repression; localization and activity regulated by quality of nitrogen source and Ure2p.

Ammonium transporter MEP2; Ammonium permease involved in regulation of pseudohyphal growth; belongs to a ubiquitous family of cytoplasmic membrane proteins that transport only ammonium (NH4+); expression is under the nitrogen catabolite repression regulation; Belongs to the ammonia transporter channel (TC 1.A.11.2) family.

Transcriptional activator protein DAL81; Positive regulator of genes in multiple nitrogen degradation pathways; contains DNA binding domain but does not appear to bind the dodecanucleotide sequence present in the promoter region of many genes involved in allantoin catabolism.

Nitrogen catabolite repression transcriptional regulator; inhibits GLN3 transcription in good nitrogen source; role in sequestering Gln3p and Gat1p to the cytoplasm; has glutathione peroxidase activity and can mutate to acquire GST activity; self-assembly under limited nitrogen conditions creates [URE3] prion and releases catabolite repression.

Fork head protein homolog 1; Forkhead family transcription factor; rate-limiting replication origin activator; evolutionarily conserved lifespan regulator; binds multiple chromosomal elements with distinct specificities, cell cycle dynamics; regulates transcription elongation, chromatin silencing at mating loci, expression of G2/M phase genes; facilitates clustering, activation of early-firing replication origins; binds HML recombination enhancer, regulates donor preference during mating-type switching.

Transcription factor; involved in cell-type-specific transcription and pheromone response; plays a central role in the formation of both repressor and activator complexes; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia.
