Abstract excerpt
UaY is the specific ZnII(2)Cys(6) transcriptional activator of the purine utilisation pathway in Aspergillus nidulans. Previous work has determined the consensus binding sequence by EMSA and foot-printing. We determine here that it binds as a dimer to its cognate CGG-N(6)-CCG sites. We identify the uaY109 mutation, which has been shown to affect differentially the expression of a number of UaY-regulated genes, as...
