Systematic Name Gene Name Motif ID Expert Confidence Dubious? Notes
V YGL131C SNT2 612 Low Dubious All three motifs are derived from the same ChIP-chip data. However, there is no corroborating data, and not all SANT domains are DNA-binding - or are non-specific, in chromatin proteins. So it could be a cofactor motif; in fact it is similar to motifs of Stp3 and Stp4. The protein has other chromatin-related domains (BAH, PHD/RING). Hence the "Low" assessment.
V YKL032C IXR1 0   Dubious Binds cisplatin-modified DNA. HMG domains. ChIP-chip motifs not significant. Dubious and no credible motif.
V YLR223C IFH1 0   Dubious Cofactor of Fhl1p. No evidence for sequence-specific DNA-binding.
V YCL055W KAR4 127 Low Dubious Evidence for sequence specific DNA binding seems weak, hence low confidence
V YDR009W GAL3 0   Dubious Gal3 is not a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein
V YML051W GAL80 0   Dubious Gal80 is not a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein
V YNL199C GCR2 0   Dubious Gcr2 is not a DNA-binding protein. SGD: "Gcr1p is a DNA-binding protein interacting with the consensus sequence CTTCC, whereas Gcr2p interacts with Gcr1p". But, ChIP-chip motif 606 is probably the best Gcr1 motif available (even though it came from Gcr2 ChIP).
V YOR038C HIR2 0   Dubious Hir1,2,3 are a nucleosome assembly complex, not TFs
V YJR140C HIR3 0   Dubious Hir1,2,3 are a nucleosome assembly complex, not TFs
V YBL008W HIR1 0   Dubious Hir1,2,3 are a nucleosome assembly complex, not TFs
V YOR077W RTS2 0   Dubious Homolog of Kin17; not a typical C2H2 zinc finger. Believed to be "chromatin-associated proteins involved in UV response and DNA replication". No evidence for sequence-specific DNA-binding. Single ChIP-chip motif does not have strong correspondence to the data from which it is derived.
V YKL020C SPT23 670 Low Dubious I could not find any evidence that this protein binds directly to DNA. It has an IPT domain but no REL domain. None of the ChIP-derived motifs scores highly on ChIP data or anything else. Motif 670 bears some relationship to expression data.
V YER161C SPT2 1114 Low Dubious I could not find any evidence that this protein binds directly to DNA. None of the motifs is significant. All are from ChIP-chip. Motif 1114 chosen simploy because it has the highest numbers overall.
V YPR054W SMK1 1875 Low Dubious I could not find any evidence that this protein binds directly to DNA. There is only one motif derived from ChIP-chip but it bears little relationship to the data from which it was derived.
V YGL192W IME4 1000 Low Dubious I could not find evidence that IME4 is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. C3H1 is more typically an RNA-binding domain or something besides nucleic acid binding. There is one significant ChIP-chip motif but perhaps it binds through a cofactor. No other supporting data.
V YGR097W ASK10 0   Dubious I did not find any evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
V YGR089W NNF2 0   Dubious I did not find any evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
V YER109C FLO8 67 Low Dubious I found no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein, i.e. that it binds directly to DNA in vitro. The motif has a limited relationship to ChIP-chip data. The literature motif scores better than the motif derived from the ChIP-chip study. Also, the motif is identical to that for MSS11.
V YIL128W MET18 0   Dubious I found no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. ChIP-chip motif does not correlate with ChIP-chip data, or anything else.
V YGL197W MDS3 0   Dubious I found no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. ChIP-chip motif does not correlate with ChIP-chip data, or anything else.
V YJR094C IME1 0   Dubious Interacts with UME6. The only significant motif shares 5/6 bases with the UME6 motif core (GCCGCC)
V YOR229W WTM2 0   Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motif comes only from ChIP-chip so scoring on ChIP-chip is circular.
V YIL119C RPI1 0   Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motif comes only from ChIP-chip so scoring on ChIP-chip is circular.
V YKL072W STB6 0   Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motif comes only from ChIP-chip so scoring on ChIP-chip is circular. The ChIP-chip motif looks a little like a Rap1 motif.
V YNL139C THO2 786 Low Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motif comes only from ChIP-chip.
V YPL139C UME1 1143 Low Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motif comes only from ChIP-chip. But, it has a high P-value, and the motif has low similarity to other motifs, with the possible exception of Yox1. But the function of the protein is very different from that of Yox1. Tough call - leave as Dubious, but give Low confidence to motif 1143.
V YOR230W WTM1 1148 Low Dubious It is not clear that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein; it contains no DNA-binding domain and has no known in vitro sequence specificity. The motifs come only from ChIP-chip so scoring on ChIP-chip is circular.
V YDR477W SNF1 1110 Medium Dubious Motif 1110 has a quite strong correspondence to ChIP-chip data (from which it is derived). However, there seems to be no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein. Aside from a weak relationship to expression data there is no corroborating evidence here (and no DNA-binding domain).
V YHL020C OPI1 0   Dubious Motifs do not match and do not explain the ChIP-chip data from which they are derived. Motif 1049 resembles the expected UAS-INO (Ino2/4) binding site (CATGTGAAAT) - Opi1 acts as a repressor by binding Ino2. I believe this protein is a corepressor, and Ino2/4 are the DNA-binding factors. Dubious as sequence-specific TF.
V YDL002C NHP10 502 Low Dubious NHP10 is an HMGB-type protein. Known to prefer DNA ends. There is no independent support for the single PBM motif.
V YNL309W STB1 0   Dubious No direct evidence that this is a DNA-binding protein. It binds Swi6 and the ChIP motifs all resemble Swi4 binding sites.
V YMR053C STB2 710 Low Dubious No direct evidence that this is a DNA-binding protein. Three ChIP-derived motifs but none scores highly by any measure. Motif 710 is an arbitrary choice - looks tidy.
V YDR049W   0   Dubious No evidence this is a TF, aside from a poorly-scoring C2H2 zinc finger
V YPL049C DIG1 0   Dubious Not a TF - it binds Ste12; all the motifs are Ste12 motifs.
V YMR072W ABF2 541 Medium Dubious Protein is not expected to be sequence specific. But motif is obtained in vitro. May need further investigation. Give medium confidence, but label as dubious.
V YFL052W   0   Dubious Putative zinc-cluster protein.
V YDR277C MTH1 0   Dubious SGD: "interacts with Rgt1p and the Snf3p and Rgt2p glucose sensors". There is no evidence that this is a sequence-specific transcription factor.
V YKL005C BYE1 0   Dubious SGD: "Negative regulator of transcription elongation, contains a TFIIS-like domain and a PHD finger, multicopy suppressor of temperature-sensitive ess1 mutations, probably binds RNA polymerase II large subunit". No evidence this is a sequence-specific TF.
V YNL257C SIP3 0   Dubious Sip3 is a protein that "transcription through interaction with DNA-bound Snf1p" (SGD); no DNA-binding domain and no evidence for direct interaction with DNA or intrinsic sequence specificity.
V YLR182W SWI6 0   Dubious Swi6 is a cofactor, not a DNA-binding protein. These motifs are for Mbp1 or Swi4.
V YGR040W KSS1 0   Dubious There is no evidence that Kss1 is a sequence-specific TF.
V YLR442C SIR3 0   Dubious There is no evidence that the SIR proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. Most of the motifs for them are Rap1 sites.
V YKR101W SIR1 0   Dubious There is no evidence that the SIR proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. Most of the motifs for them are Rap1 sites.
V YDR227W SIR4 0   Dubious There is no evidence that the SIR proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. Most of the motifs for them are Rap1 sites.
V YDL042C SIR2 0   Dubious There is no evidence that the SIR proteins are sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. Most of the motifs for them are Rap1 sites.
V YMR075W RCO1 1066 Low Dubious There is no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein rather than a chromatin factor. The higher-scoring ChIP-chip motif appears to have low information content and does not display strong correspondence to the data it was generated from or to expression data.
V YOR372C NDD1 0   Dubious There is no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein, either in vitro or in vivo or in its sequence. The ChIP-chip motif that scores most highly is actually an MCM1 motif, which is consistent with the role of NDD1 as a "transcriptional activator essential for nuclear division".
V YMR164C MSS11 204 Low Dubious There is no evidence that this is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein, rather than a cofactor. The motif has a limited relationship to ChIP-chip data. The literature motif scores better than the motif derived from the ChIP-chip study. Also, the motif is identical to that for FLO8.
V YOR298C-A MBF1 0   Dubious This is a coactivator. I found no evidence that it is a sequence-specific TF.
V YER051W JHD1 662 Low Dubious This is a histone demethylase. No evidence for direct DNA binding. Motif 662 is significant. Include, but give low confidence - could be a cofactor.
V YLR113W HOG1 0   Dubious This is a signalling molecule that associates with many TFs (see SGD)
V YNR054C ESF2 0   Dubious This is supposed to be a ribosome biogenesis factor. I found no evidence that it is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
V YNL132W KRE33 0   Dubious This is supposed to be a ribosome biogenesis factor. I found no evidence that it is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
V YDL166C FAP7 0   Dubious This is supposed to be a ribosome biogenesis factor. I found no evidence that it is a sequence-specific DNA-binding protein.
V YPR086W SUA7 1327 Low Dubious This protein is not expected to bind DNA; it is supposed to bind DNA-bound TBP. The TIRF-PBM data used to generate the motif included only 96 sequences.

V YOL067C RTG1 1493 Low   1493 and 1494 are a toss-up and could represent different dimerization partners, conceivably. Similar to 1445 and 1446 above. Retain both but give low confidence.
V YOL067C RTG1 1494 Low   1493 and 1494 are a toss-up and could represent different dimerization partners, conceivably. Similar to 1445 and 1446 above. Retain both but give low confidence.
V YFL031W HAC1 94 Medium   1788 is the overall winner. But, literature motif 94 also scores well in ChIP-chip, despite being somewhat different. Possible difference in heterodimerazation partners, or proteolytic fragment? Retain both.
V YFL031W HAC1 1788 High   1788 is the overall winner. But, literature motif 94 also scores well in ChIP-chip, despite being somewhat different. Possible difference in heterodimerization partners, or proteolytic fragment? Retain both, score 94 as medium.
V YOL028C YAP7 1737 High   7-base bZIP core. Obtained in ChIP-chip studies and higher correspondence to stressed ChIP-chip data. Possible heterodimer? Little literature on this protein. 1737 chosen because it is largely symmetric and has highest score for both stressed and unstressed Harbison data, also, higher GO score
V YOL028C YAP7 1414 High   8-base bZIP core. Obtained by Mitomi, so this is a homodimer. Higher correspondence to unstressed ChIP-chip data. Little literature on this protein. 1414 chosen for higher ChIP-chip overall scores; plus, it is a palindrome as expected for a bZIP protein.
V YER169W RPH1 547 High   About half of the motifs look similar to each other, with GGGG core typical of many yeast C2H2 proteins. PBM motif 547 has meaningful scores on both ChIP-chip and mutant expression data. I'm somewhat concerned that motif 279 lacks two A residues captured by both PBM experiments.
V YPR065W ROX1 1396 High   About half the motifs have a typical ACAAT Sox core. MITOMI motif 1396 has highest correspondence to both ChIP-chip and deletion expression data.
