Abstract excerpt
Sir protein spreading along chromosomes and silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae requires the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase activity of Sir2p. We tested whether this requirement could be bypassed at the HM loci and telomeres in cells containing a stably expressed, but catalytically inactive mutant of Sir2p, sir2-345p, plus histone mutants that mimic the hypoacetylated state normally created by Sir2p. Sir...
