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 mutation caused reduction of TATA-dependent transcription, but exerted no effect on initiator-mediated transcription. GAL11...
