Abstract excerpt
The HMRE silencer of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been previously shown to transcriptionally repress class II and class III genes integrated within the HMR silent mating-type locus up to 2.6 kb away. Here we study the ability of this element to repress at an ectopic position, independent of sequences normally associated with it. When integrated 750 bp upstream of the HSP82 heat shock gene, the silencer represses...
