Abstract excerpt
Sap1 is a dimeric sequence-specific DNA binding-protein, initially identified for its role in mating-type switching of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. The protein is relatively abundant, around 10,000 dimers/cell, and is localized in the nucleus. sap1+ is essential for viability, and transient overexpression is accompanied by rapid cell death, without an apparent checkpoint response and independently...
