UniProt functional annotation for P04386

UniProt code: P04386.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: This protein is a positive regulator for the gene expression of the galactose-induced genes such as GAL1, GAL2, GAL7, GAL10, and MEL1 which code for the enzymes used to convert galactose to glucose. It recognizes a 17 base pair sequence in (5'-CGGRNNRCYNYNCNCCG-3') the upstream activating sequence (UAS-G) of these genes.
 
Subunit: Binds DNA as a homodimer. Interacts directly with the mediator subunits GAL11/MED15 and SRB4/MED17. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11478912, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9660972}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus.
Domain: the 9aaTAD motif (residues 862 to 870) is a transactivation domain present in a large number of yeast and animal transcription factors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17467953}.
Ptm: Association between GAL11 and GAL4 may serve to expedite phosphorylation of GAL4.
Miscellaneous: Present with 166 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
