Abstract excerpt
Recent studies linking DNA replication proteins to transcriptional silencing suggest that some of the same mechanisms that facilitate the initiation of replication at origins might be involved in establishing repressed chromatin at silencer elements. Our ongoing studies of several mutants of the replication initiation factor Mcm10 of budding yeast revealed an associated defect in the production of mating type...
