Theme and variation among silencing proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1998

Aström S U, Rine J

Abstract excerpt

The cryptic mating type loci in Saccharomyces cerevisiae act as reservoirs of mating type information used in mating type switching in homothallic yeast strains. The transcriptional silencing of these loci depends on the formation of a repressive chromatin structure that is reminiscent of heterochromatin. Silent information regulator (Sir) proteins 2-4 are absolutely required for silencing. To learn more about...
