Abstract excerpt
nmt1 in fission yeast is essential for thiamine biosynthesis and is regulated by the thi1 transcription factor. The thiamine-repressible nmt1 promoter is the most widely used promoter construct for gene expression studies in fission yeast. We show that in addition to thi1, thi5 also regulates the nmt1 promoter and its expression is undetectable in a thi1 thi5 double deletion. Thi5 over-expression relieves the...
