Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARG1 gene is under the control of both positive and negative elements. Activation of the gene in minimal medium is induced by Gcn4. Repression occurs in the presence of arginine and requires the ArgR/Mcm1 complex that binds to two upstream arginine control (ARC) elements. With the recent finding that the E2 ubiquitin conjugase Rad6 modifies histone H2B, we examined...
