A Manually Curated Knowledgebase of Aging across a variety of Species

Details


Name GCN4
Type gene
Species Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Tissue yeast cells
Experiment Method mRNA sequencing;Polysome profiling and Ribo-seq;Quantitative proteomics;Off-Gel electrophoresis;Mass spectrometric analysis;Western blot;ChIP-seq
Up/Down NA
Pro/Anti Anti
Funtion Description Here we show that Gcn4 acts as a repressor of protein synthesis. By analyzing the messenger RNA and protein abundance, ribosome occupancy and protein synthesis rate in various yeast strains, we demonstrate that Gcn4 is sufficient to reduce protein synthes
