Abstract excerpt
Previous work has suggested that products of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Silent Information Regulator (SIR) genes form a complex with histones, nucleated by cis-acting silencers or telomeres, which represses transcription in a position-dependent but sequence-independent fashion. While it is generally thought that this Sir complex works through the establishment of heterochromatin, it is unclear how this...
