Abstract excerpt
The centromere and promoter factor 1 (CPF1) binds specifically in vitro and in vivo to an octanucleotide (RTCACRTG). This sequence is found in the centromere DNA element I (CDEI) of yeast centromeres and upstream from a number of transcription units including MET25, GAL2 and TRP1. Inactivation of the CPF1 gene results in three phenotypes; slow growth, a partial loss of centromere function and methionine...
