Abstract excerpt
The Sin3-Rpd3 histone deacetylase complex, conserved between human and yeast, represses transcription when targeted by promoter-specific transcription factors. SIN3 and RPD3 also affect transcriptional silencing at the HM mating loci and at telomeres in yeast. Interestingly, however, deletion of the SIN3 and RPD3 genes enhances silencing, implying that the Sin3-Rpd3 complex functions to counteract, rather than to...
