GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. The increased D-xylose affinity could be related to the C terminus, more specifically to a cysteine to proline mutation at position 505 in Hxt2.
    Title: Increased xylose affinity of Hxt2 through gene shuffling of hexose transporters in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
  2. findings suggest that the general activity of RNAP III can indirectly affect the RNAP II transcriptional machinery on the HXT2 promoter when cellular perception transduced via the major signaling pathways, broadly recognized as on/off switch essential to either positive or negative HXT gene regulation, remain entirely intact
    Title: Low RNA Polymerase III activity results in up regulation of HXT2 glucose transporter independently of glucose signaling and despite changing environment.

  4. In addition to leucine 201 (TM5), four residues of Hxt2 (leucine 59 and leucine 61 in TM1, asparagine 331 in TM7, and phenylalanine 366 in TM8) were found to be important for high affinity transport
