Impact of Homologous Recombination on Silent Chromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Genetics - 1 Mar 2018
Sieverman Kathryn J, Rine Jasper
Abstract excerpt
Specialized chromatin domains repress transcription of genes within them and present a barrier to many DNA-protein interactions. Silent chromatin in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, akin to heterochromatin of metazoans and plants, inhibits transcription of PolII- and PolIII-transcribed genes, yet somehow grants access to proteins necessary for DNA transactions like replication and homologous...
