Abstract excerpt
Fission yeast phosphate homeostasis genes are repressed in phosphate-rich medium by transcription of upstream lncRNAs that interferes with activation of the flanking mRNA promoters. lncRNA control of PHO gene expression is influenced by the Thr4 phospho-site in the RNA polymerase II CTD and the 3' processing/termination factors CPF and Rhn1, mutations of which result in hyper-repression of the PHO regulon. Here,...
