Abstract excerpt
The yeast SPT10 gene encodes a putative histone acetyltransferase that binds specifically to pairs of upstream activating sequence (UAS) elements found only in the histone gene promoters. Here, we demonstrate that the DNA-binding domain of Spt10p is located between residues 283 and 396 and includes a His(2)-Cys(2) zinc finger. The binding of Spt10p to the histone UAS is zinc-dependent and is disabled by a zinc...
