Transcription factors with DNA binding sites over-represented in upregulated genes

TFDescription# of genes & (P value)References
Sko1 Basic leucine zipper transcription factor of the ATF/CREB family; forms a complex with Tup1p and Cyc8p to both activate and repress transcription; cytosolic and nuclear protein involved in osmotic and oxidative stress responses 44 (4.7E-12) (Reimand et al., 2010; Niu et al., 2008; Ni et al., 2009) 
Hot1 Transcription factor for glycerol biosynthetic genes; required for the transient induction of glycerol biosynthetic genes GPD1 and GPP2 in response to high osmolarity; targets Hog1p to osmostress responsive promoters; has similarity to Msn1p and Gcr1p 13 (1.2E-09)  
Spt23 ER membrane protein involved in regulation of OLE1 transcription; inactive ER form dimerizes and one subunit is then activated by ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing followed by nuclear targeting; SPT23 has a paralog, MGA2, that arose from the whole genome duplication 58 (1.3E-08) (Auld et al., 2006; Reimand et al., 2010) 
Yap6 Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor; physically interacts with the Tup1-Cyc8 complex and recruits Tup1p to its targets; overexpression increases sodium and lithium tolerance; computational analysis suggests a role in regulation of expression of genes involved in carbohydrate metabolism; YAP6 has a paralog, CIN5, that arose from the whole genome duplication 38 (6.22E-08) (Lee et al., 2002; Harbison et al., 2004; Ni et al., 2009; Reimand et al., 2010) 
Cad1 AP-1-like basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcriptional activator; involved in stress responses, iron metabolism, and pleiotropic drug resistance; controls a set of genes involved in stabilizing proteins; binds consensus sequence TTACTAA; CAD1 has a paralog, YAP1, that arose from the whole genome duplication 27 (1.01E-07) (Mazzola et al., 2015; Reimand et al., 2010; Haugen et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2002; Azevedo et al., 2007) 
Adr1 Carbon source-responsive zinc-finger transcription factor; required for transcription of the glucose-repressed gene ADH2, of peroxisomal protein genes, and of genes required for ethanol, glycerol, and fatty acid utilization 31 (8.55E-07) (Chua et al., 2006; Reimand et al., 2010; Karpichev et al., 2008)
