Gene Ontology
GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code. SGD has manually curated and high-throughput GO Annotations, both derived from the literature, as well as computational, or predicted, annotations.

Complex
Macromolecular complex annotations are imported from the Complex Portal. These annotations have been derived from physical molecular interaction evidence extracted from the literature and cross-referenced in the entry, or by curator inference from information on homologs in closely related species or by inference from scientific background.
Phenotype
Phenotype annotations for a gene are curated single mutant phenotypes that require an observable (e.g., "cell shape"), a qualifier (e.g., "abnormal"), a mutant type (e.g., null), strain background, and a reference. In addition, annotations are classified as classical genetics or high-throughput (e.g., large scale survey, systematic mutation set). Whenever possible, allele information and additional details are provided.

- Summary
- MCM1 encodes an alpha helix transcription factor of the MADS box family. Mcm1p binds 5'-CCNNWTYRGGAA-3' motifs, and is involved in the control of various cellular processes such as argnine metabolism, M/G1 and G2/M cell-cycle-dependent transcription, recombination, TY transcription and osmotolerance. Mcm1p regulates cell-type specification by binding target sites upstream of the promoters of nine a-specific genes (MFA1, MFA2, STE2, STE6, BAR1, AGA2, DPS1, ASG7, DPS2) to activate their transcription. In alpha cells, Mcm1p combines with MATalpha1p to activate transcription of at least four alpha-specific genes (MFalpha1, MFalpha2, STE3, SAG1). Repression of a-specific genes in alpha haploid or alpha/a diploid cells involves cooperative binding of MATalpha2p and Mcm1p. In cell-cycle control, Mcm1p regulates two consecutive waves of transcription controlling G1/S and G2/M cell-cycle transitions. Transcription of four genes (CLN3, SWI4, CDC6, CDC47) peaks in late M-early G1 phase of the cell cycle via an early cell-cycle box (ECB) bound constitutively by Mcm1p. Mcm1p also controls expression of genes involved in pre-replication complex (PRC) formation, and binds cooperatively to multiple sites at autonomously replicating sequences. Transcription of 26 genes, called the CLB2 cluster, peaks in late G2/early M phase of the cell cycle and requires Mcm1p. Mcm1p is also required for the repression of arginine biosynthetic genes (ARG1, ARG3, ARG5,6 and ARG8) and induction of arginine catabolic genes (CAR1 and CAR2) in response to arginine. Regulation of arginine-dependent gene expression is mediated by the multimeric ArgR/Mcm1 complex that binds upstream regulatory motifs in the promoters of arginine-sensitive promoters. The ArgR/Mcm1 complex consists of Arg80p, Arg81p, Arg82p, and Mcm1p. Arg80p and Mcm1p form heterodimers and coregulate gene expression by facilitating the cooperative binding of diverse sequence-specific factors to promoters. During arginine starvation, Mcm1p positively regulates ARG1 transcription by enhancing binding of Gcn4p to the ARG1 promoter and recruiment of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. Mcm1p is phosphorylated on two major phosphorylation sites in its N-terminus. Mcm1p activity may be regulated by the SLN1 signaling pathway.
Expression
Expression data are derived from records contained in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), and are first log2 transformed and normalized. Referenced datasets may contain one or more condition(s), and as a result there may be a greater number of conditions than datasets represented in a single clickable histogram bar. The histogram division at 0.0 separates the down-regulated (green) conditions and datasets from those that are up-regulated (red).
