Dahlquist:Yeast Transcription Factors

Dahlquist Lab Yeast Transcription Factor Resources
This page displays a compiled list of yeast transcription factor resources. Included are data on transcription factor target genes and transcription factor regulatory networks in yeast, links to web servers providing easy-to-use TF searches and other potentially helpful resources.

TF Network Data
//Updated TF network to determine new relationships Used improved algorithms to detect new regulatory relationships in the transcription factor network Fig. 3 Shows that the effect on Cin5 was to gain approximately 10 new interactions and lose approximately two as compared to the older model. A figure of the new network was downloaded. PDF format

[[Media:MacIsaac_BMCBioinformatics_06_SuppData_orfs_by_factor.zip | Supplementary Data in zipped .xls file]] //TF-target interactions in DNA damage response Measured binding locations(ChIP-chip) of damage-related transcription factors (including Cin5) after exposure to MMS. Validated by checking against binding in knock-out strains for TFs. Downloaded the MMS and Untreated ChIP datasets to be filtered for Cin5p targets, Excel spreadsheet of p values for binding. //TF network discovered through systematic deletions Performed microarray analysis of knockout strains for many transcription factors and compared expression profiles to determine regulatory relationships. Allows distinguishing between activated and repressed transcription factor targets Downloaded the filtered and unfiltered network in X-score format. Gene-gene-value triples. //Full text from ScienceDirect //Abstract and Supplemental Data //Cold Shock Temporal Network Data Used new algoithm to construct temporal networks of yeast's response to various stresses, including cold shock. For cold shock data, the paper analyzes data from the Gasch, et al. (2000) paper. Supplementary data has cold shock temporal response, but does not show any interactions between transcription factors and targets. (Note: the Gasch et al. paper does not have a true "cold shock" response. They only measure the effect of a temperature downshift from 37°C to 25°C.  Cold shock is defined in the range of 10°C to 18°C

Web Servers

 * MYBS Mining Yeast Binding Sites
 * The search regulatory associations function allows the user to input a list of genes of interest and search for candidate transcription factors that regulate the list of genes. Allows filtering according to multiple criteria.

 * TFSVM Transcription Factor Support Vector Machine
 * Allows user to input either a single transcription factor to get a list of regulated target genes or a single gene to get a list of transcription factors that regulate that gene. Can also filter according to a threshold value
 * Downloaded the list of Cin5p targets with a threshold value >0.997.
