Abstract excerpt
Like most eukaryotic rDNA promoters, the promoter for rDNA in Saccharomyces cerevisiae consists of two elements: a core element, which is essential, and an upstream element, which is not essential but is required for a high level of transcription. We have demonstrated that stimulation of transcription by the upstream element is mediated by a multiprotein transcription factor, UAF (upstream activation factor)...
