Abstract excerpt
During cell division and growth, the nucleus and chromosomes are remodeled for DNA replication and cell type-specific transcriptional control. The yeast silencing protein Sir3p functions in both chromosome structure and in transcriptional regulation. Specifically, Sir3p is critical for the maintenance of telomere structure and for transcriptional repression at both the silent mating-type loci and telomeres. We...
