Abstract excerpt
We show that the budding yeast protein Chl1p, required for sister-chromatid cohesion, also modulates transcriptional silencing at HMR and telomeres. The absence of this protein results in increased silencing at HMR and, conversely, in decreased silencing at the telomere. The regulation of silencing by Chl1p at these two loci is dependent on the presence of Sir proteins. Chl1p also acts synergistically with Sir2p...
