Localization and properties of a silencing element near the mat3-M mating-type cassette of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1999

Thon G, Bjerling K P, Nielsen I S

Abstract excerpt

Transcription is repressed in a segment of Schizosaccharomyces pombe chromosome II that encompasses the mat2-P and mat3-M mating-type cassettes. Chromosomal deletion analysis revealed the presence of a repressor element within 500 bp of mat3-M. This element acted in synergy with the trans-acting factors Swi6, Clr1, Clr2, Clr3, and Clr4 and had several properties characteristic of silencers: it did not display...
