Abstract excerpt

The MAT alpha locus of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes two regulatory proteins, alpha 1 and alpha 2, which are responsible for determining the alpha-cell type. MAT alpha 1 is a positive regulator of alpha-cell-type-specific genes, and MAT alpha 2 is a negative regulator of a-cell-type-...
