Trans-acting factors and properly positioned DNA elements repress mating-type genes in fission yeast.

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 bacte...
