Abstract excerpt
We have recently reported that the yeast chromatin-remodeling factor Swi1 can exist as a prion, [SWI(+)], demonstrating a link between prionogenesis and global transcriptional regulation. To shed light on how the Swi1 conformational switch influences Swi1 function and to define the sequence and structural requirements for [SWI(+)] formation and propagation, we functionally dissected the Swi1 molecule. We show...
