Abstract excerpt
The specific induction of genes in response to distinct environmental stress is vital for all eukaryotes. To study the mechanisms that result in selective gene responses, we examined the role of the fission yeast Tup1 family repressors in chromatin regulation. We found that chromatin structure around a cAMP-responsive element (CRE)-like sequence in ade6-M26 that is bound by Atf1.Pcr1 transcriptional activation...
