Bimodal expression of yeast GAL genes is controlled by a long non-coding RNA and a bifunctional galactokinase.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 22 Apr 2017

Zacharioudakis Ioannis, Tzamarias Dimitris

Abstract excerpt

Bimodality in gene expression can generate phenotypic heterogeneity facilitating fitness and growth of isogenic cell populations in suboptimal environments. We investigated the mechanism by which, in conditions of limiting galactose, yeast cell populations activate GAL genes in a bimodal fashion with a cell fraction expressing GAL genes (ON), while the rest subpopulation is kept at the non-expressing (OFF) state....
