Abstract excerpt
Transcription of HEM13 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is repressed by heme and oxygen. We have isolated two mutants in which expression of HEM13 is aberrant. The mutant alleles in these strains represent two different alleles of HAP1. HAP1 encodes an activator protein whose DNA binding activity is stimulated by heme, and is required for the transcription of CYC1, ROX1 and a number of other heme-dependent genes. One...
