Abstract excerpt
The 274 tRNA genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are scattered throughout the linear maps of the 16 chromosomes, but the genes are clustered at the nucleolus when compacted in the nucleus. This clustering is dependent on intact nucleolar organization and contributes to tRNA gene-mediated (tgm) silencing of RNA polymerase II transcription near tRNA genes. After examination of the localization mechanism, we find that...
