SGD DescriptionGlycogen synthase; expression induced by glucose limitation, nitrogen starvation, environmental stress, and entry into stationary phase; GSY1 has a paralog, GSY2, that arose from the whole genome duplication; relocalizes from nucleus to cytoplasmic foci upon DNA replication stress|Glycogen synthase; expression induced by glucose limitation, nitrogen starvation, heat shock, and stationary phase; activity regulated by cAMP-dependent, Snf1p and Pho85p kinases as well as by the Gac1p-Glc7p phosphatase; GSY2 has a paralog, GSY1, that arose from the whole genome duplication; relocalizes from cytoplasm to plasma membrane upon DNA replication stress
AspGD DescriptionOrtholog(s) have glycogen (starch) synthase activity, role in glycogen biosynthetic process and mitochondrion localization
