Abstract excerpt
The SSL1 locus was identified as a trans-acting suppressor that restores HIS4 expression despite a stem-loop structure in the 5'-UTR. SSL1 encodes an essential protein of 52 kD with features characteristic of a protein with multiple zinc fingers. The mechanism of SSL1 suppression is not related to altering his4 transcription or removing the stem-loop sequence from the 5'-UTR; rather, 3- to 5-fold increases in...
