Abstract excerpt

The GAL11 gene product, which copurifies with RNA polymerase II holoenzyme, is necessary for full expression of many, but not all, genes in yeast. Here we shows that the GAL11 dependence of a gene for expression is determined by the core promoter structure. In the GAL80 gene, a gal11 null mutatio...
