In previous work using the Saccharomyces cerevisiae model system, a mutant version of histone H3-H3-L61W-was found to confer a variety of abnormal growth phenotypes and defects in specific aspects of the transcription process, including a pronounced alteration in the distribution pattern of the transcription elongation factor Spt16 across transcribed genes and promotion of cryptic transcription initiation within...
