Trans-acting factors and properly positioned DNA elements repress mating-type genes in fission yeast.
Current genetics - 1 Apr 1992

Abstract excerpt
Repression of the mating-type P genes at the silent mat2-P locus in fission yeast is dependent on four cis-acting DNA elements, two on each side of the coding sequences. The mechanism by which these elements exert their influence on the mating-type promoter is studied here by insertion of a bacterial antibiotic resistance gene at several positions in the silent region. The behavior of the resistance gene itself,...
