Abstract excerpt
The expression of the yeast CYC1 and CYC7 genes is controlled by the HAP1 activator. A GAL4-like zinc finger (residues 1-148) specifies binding to the dissimilar sites UAS1 (of CYC1) and CYC7, and an acidic domain (residues 1307-1483) is essential for activation of transcription. To analyze how HAP1 binds to UAS1 and CYC7, we performed saturation mutagenesis of the DNA-binding domain and recovered mutants with...
