High impact information on PHD1

In Saccharomyces, this switch is controlled by two regulatory proteins, Ste12p and Phd1p [1].
Further analysis of the network showed that the promoters of MGA1 and PHD1 were bound by all of the factors used in this study, identifying them as key target hubs [2].
Dependence on PKA function can be partially relieved by overexpression of a gene, SOK2, whose product has significant homology with several fungal transcription factors (StuA from Aspergillus nidulans and Phd1 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that are associated with cellular differentiation and development [3].
Interestingly, PHD1 overexpression enhances pseudohyphal growth in a haploid strain that has the diploid polar budding pattern because of a mutation in the BUD4 gene [4].
In addition, wild-type diploid strains lacking PHD1 undergo pseudohyphal growth when starved for nitrogen [4].

Biological context of PHD1

Overexpression of PHD1 in wild-type haploid strains does not induce pseudohyphal growth [4].
PHD1 maps to chromosome XI and is predicted to encode a 366-amino-acid protein [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of PHD1

Epitope-tagged PHD1 was localized to the nucleus by indirect immunofluorescence [4].
