Abstract excerpt
The evolutionarily conserved multisubunit THO complex, which is recruited to actively transcribed genes, is required for the efficient expression of FLO11 and other yeast genes that have long internal tandem repeats. FLO11 transcription elongation in Tho- mutants is hindered in the region of the tandem repeats, resulting in a loss of function. Moreover, the repeats become genetically unstable in Tho- mutants. A...
