Abstract excerpt
Several regions of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome are subject to position-dependent transcriptional repression mediated by a multi-component nucleosome-binding complex of silent information regulator proteins (Sir2p, Sir3p and Sir4p). These proteins are present in limiting amounts in the nucleus and are targeted to specific chromosomal regions by interaction with sequence-specific DNA-binding factors....
