Abstract excerpt
Yeast cells respond to environmental stress by inducing the master regulator Gcn4 to control genes involved in biosynthesis of amino acids and purine pathways. Gcn4 is a member of the basic leucine Zipper family and binds directly as a homodimer to a conserved regulatory region of target genes. Ssb2 was discovered to rescue the mutant Gcn4 which has a point mutation that decreases DNA-binding affinity. Ssb2 is...
