Gene Ontology Information

Protein Name	Cup2p
Description	Copper-binding transcription factor; activates transcription of the metallothionein genes CUP1-1 and CUP1-2 in response to elevated copper concentrations; required for regulation of copper genes in response to DNA-damaging reagents; CUP2 has a paralog, HAA1, that arose from the whole genome duplication
GO Terms: Biological Process	level 6: response to copper ion level 7: regulation of DNA-templated transcription level 8: regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II level 9: cellular copper ion homeostasis level 9: cellular iron ion homeostasis level 9: positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II
GO Terms: Molecular Function	level 3: DNA-binding transcription factor activity level 4: DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific level 5: DNA binding level 5: metal ion binding level 7: copper ion binding level 7: zinc ion binding level 8: RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding
GO Terms: Cellular Component	level 5: nucleus
