Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transcriptional silencing of the cryptic mating loci HML and HMR is established by the combined actions of cis-acting silencers and trans-acting proteins, including Sir2p, Sir3p and Sir4p. The Sir proteins serve as an integral part of a special silent chromatin at the HM loci. Deletion of any of the SIR2-SIR4 genes leads to a complete loss of silencing. However, the SUM1-1 mutation...
