Abstract
Ixr1 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae HMGB protein that regulates the hypoxic regulon and also controls the expression of other genes involved in the oxidative stress response or re-adaptation of catabolic and anabolic fluxes when oxygen is limiting. Ixr1 also binds with high affinity to cisplatin-DNA adducts and modulates DNA repair. The influence of Ixr1 on transcription in the absence or presence of cisplatin has been analyzed in this work. Ixr1 regulates other transcriptional factors that respond to nutrient availability or extracellular and intracellular stress stimuli, some controlled by the TOR pathway and PKA signaling. Ixr1 controls transcription of ribosomal RNAs and genes encoding ribosomal proteins or involved in ribosome assembly. qPCR, ChIP, and 18S and 25S rRNAs measurement have confirmed this function. Ixr1 binds directly to several promoters of genes related to rRNA transcription and ribosome biogenesis. Cisplatin treatment mimics the effect of IXR1 deletion on rRNA and ribosomal gene transcription, and prevents Ixr1 binding to specific promoters related to these processes.

Abstract
Previous studies have described a transcriptional "memory effect," whereby transcript levels of many Abf1-regulated genes in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are undiminished even after Abf1 has dissociated from its regulatory sites. Here we provide additional support for this effect and investigate its molecular basis. We show that the effect is observed in a distinct abf1 ts mutant from that used in earlier studies, demonstrating that it is robust, and use chromatin immunoprecipitation to show that Abf1 association is decreased similarly from memory effect and transcriptionally responsive genes at the restrictive temperature. We also demonstrate that the association of TATA-binding protein and Pol II decreases after the loss of Abf1 binding for transcriptionally responsive genes but not for memory effect genes. Examination of genome-wide nucleosome occupancy data reveals that although transcriptionally responsive genes exhibit increased nucleosome occupancy in abf1 ts yeast, the promoter regions of memory effect targets show no change in abf1 ts mutants, maintaining an open chromatin conformation even after Abf1 eviction. This contrasting behavior reflects different inherent propensity for nucleosome formation between the two classes, driven by the presence of A/T-rich sequences upstream of the Abf1 site in memory effect gene promoters. These sequence-based differences show conservation in closely related fungi and also correlate with different gene expression noise, suggesting a physiological basis for greater access to "memory effect" promoter regions. Thus, our results establish a conserved mechanism underlying a transcriptional memory effect whereby sequences surrounding Abf1 binding sequences affect local nucleosome occupancy following loss of Abf1 binding. Furthermore, these findings demonstrate that sequence-based differences in the propensity for nucleosome occupancy can influence the transcriptional response of genes to an altered regulatory signal.

Abstract
Gene expression is dynamically reprogrammed during growth control and stress responses, which are two key processes of cellular adaptation. Single-gene studies suggest that gene regulatory patterns of the two processes commonly show high environmental responsiveness, but contrast in terms of regulatory flexibility. Our whole-genome analysis shows that the growth and stress genes are associated with activated and repressed chromatin, respectively, which can modulate the responsiveness of promoters and help balance regulatory flexibility and fidelity. Stochastic modeling of critical nucleosomes at specific promoter regions enables rapid induction of genes during stress responses by activating repressed chromatin. Conversely, activating histone modifications may contribute to regulatory fidelity for precise growth control by common transcription factors. Nucleosome eviction and modification loss lead to an intermediate chromatin state. The combinatorial role of nucleosome organization and modification is central to the balanced control of gene expression programs for stress responses and efficient growth. These regulatory mechanisms can also contribute to evolutionary adaptation.

Abstract
Background Mitochondrial respiration is an important and widely conserved cellular function in eukaryotic cells. The succinate dehydrogenase complex (Sdhp) plays an important role in respiration as it connects the mitochondrial respiratory chain to the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle where it catalyzes the oxidation of succinate to fumarate. Cellular response to the Sdhp dysfunction (i.e. impaired respiration) thus has important implications not only for biotechnological applications but also for understanding cellular physiology underlying metabolic diseases such as diabetes. We therefore explored the physiological and transcriptional response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the deletion of SDH3, that codes for an essential subunit of the Sdhp. Results Although the Sdhp has no direct role in transcriptional regulation and the flux through the corresponding reaction under the studied conditions is very low, deletion of SDH3 resulted in significant changes in the expression of several genes involved in various cellular processes ranging from metabolism to the cell-cycle. By using various bioinformatics tools we explored the organization of these transcriptional changes in the metabolic and other cellular functional interaction networks. Conclusion Our results show that the transcriptional regulatory response resulting from the impaired respiratory function is linked to several different parts of the metabolism, including fatty acid and sterol metabolism.

Abstract
Even simple organisms have the ability to respond to internal and external stimuli. This response is carried out by a dynamic network of protein-DNA interactions that allows the specific regulation of genes needed for the response. We have developed a novel computational method that uses an input-output hidden Markov model to model these regulatory networks while taking into account their dynamic nature. Our method works by identifying bifurcation points, places in the time series where the expression of a subset of genes diverges from the rest of the genes. These points are annotated with the transcription factors regulating these transitions resulting in a unified temporal map. Applying our method to study yeast response to stress, we derive dynamic models that are able to recover many of the known aspects of these responses. Predictions made by our method have been experimentally validated leading to new roles for Ino4 and Gcn4 in controlling yeast response to stress. The temporal cascade of factors reveals common pathways and highlights differences between master and secondary factors in the utilization of network motifs and in condition-specific regulation.

Abstract
Abf1 and Rap1 are general regulatory factors (GRFs) that contribute to transcriptional activation of a large number of genes, as well as to replication, silencing and telomere structure in yeast. In spite of their widespread roles in transcription, the scope of their functional targets genome-wide has not been previously determined. Here, we use microarrays to examine the contribution of these essential GRFs to transcription genome-wide, by using ts mutants that dissociate from their binding sites at 37°C. We then combine this data with published ChIP-chip studies and motif analysis to identify probable direct targets for Abf1 and Rap1. We also identify a substantial number of genes likely to bind Rap1 or Abf1, but not affected by loss of GRF binding. Interestingly, the results strongly suggest that Rap1 can contribute to gene activation from farther upstream than can Abf1. Also, consistent with previous work, more genes that bind Abf1 are unaffected by loss of binding than those that bind Rap1. Finally, we show for several such genes that the Abf1 C-terminal region, which contains the putative activation domain, is not needed to confer this peculiar ‘memory effect’ that allows continued transcription after loss of Abf1 binding.

Abstract
Eukaryotic chromosomal DNA replication is initiated by a highly conserved set of proteins that interact with cis-acting elements on chromosomes called replicators. Despite the conservation of replication initiation proteins, replicator sequences show little similarity from species to species in the small number of organisms that have been examined. Examination of replicators in other species is likely to reveal common features of replicators. We have examined a Kluyeromyces lactis replicator, KARS12, that functions as origin of DNA replication on plasmids and in the chromosome. It contains a 50-bp region with similarity to two other K. lactis replicators, KARS101 and the pKD1 replication origin. Replacement of the 50-bp sequence with an EcoRI site completely abrogated the ability of KARS12 to support plasmid and chromosomal DNA replication origin activity, demonstrating this sequence is a common feature of K. lactis replicators and is essential for function, possibly as the initiator protein binding site. Additional sequences up to 1 kb in length are required for efficient KARS12 function. Within these sequences are a binding site for a global regulator, Abf1p, and a region of bent DNA, both of which contribute to the activity of KARS12. These elements may facilitate protein binding, protein/protein interaction and/or nucleosome positioning as has been proposed for other eukaryotic origins of DNA replication.

Abstract
The autonomously replicating sequence-binding factor 1 (ABF1) from Sacchramoyces cerevisiae is known as a multifunctional DNA binding protein that is involved in transcriptional regulation, DNA-replication, and in restructuring of chromatin via nucleosome remodelling. ABF1 binds to DNA sequences found in ARS elements and in various transcriptional regulatory elements. This led to the early definition of the consensus motive 5'-CGTnnnnnnnGA(G/C)-3'. We have used a SELEX approach to expand and better characterize the DNA sequence requirements of ABF1. Starting from a pool of oligonucleotides randomized at a sequence of 30 nucleotides, we used EMSA to select for sequences with high affinity for ABF1. We obtained the sequences of 106 aptamers after the 15th SELEX round. A 16 nucleotide consensus was derived from this pool by analysis with the motif search programme MEME. Quantitative EMSA experiments verified our experimental approach since binding sequences which were bound with high affinity occurred more often in the pool and resembled the derived consensus to a higher degree. We found DNA sequences that are bound by ABF1 with nearly two-magnitude higher affinity as compared to the hitherto accepted ABF1 consensus sequence. This led us to postulate a strong recognition motive: 5'-TnnCGTnnnnnnTGAT-3'.

Abstract
Autonomously replicating sequence-binding factor 1 (Abf1p) is a site-specific DNA binding protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that functions to regulate multiple nuclear events including DNA replication, transcriptional activation, and gene silencing. Previous work indicates that the multiple functions of Abf1p are conferred by the carboxy-terminus of the protein, which can be further dissected into two important clusters of amino acid residues (CS1 and CS2). Here we present genetic and cell biological evidence for a critical role of CS1 in proper nuclear localization of Abf1p. Mutations in CS1 cause severe defects in cell growth, nuclear translocation, and Abf1p-mediated gene regulation, which can be rescued by a heterologous nuclear localization sequence (NLS). In addition, the CS1-domain can mediate the import of a CS1-GFP fusion protein. Importantly, the CS1-mediated nuclear import depends on the Ran guanine nucleotide exchange factor Prp20p. Interestingly, a single amino acid change in CS1 (K625I) also causes the protein to be exported out of the nucleus via the Crm1p-dependent pathway. The temperature-sensitive growth phenotype of this particular mutant can be overcome by overexpression of Kap121p/Pse1p, a well-established nuclear transport receptor. Biochemical studies indicate that Pse1p binds to a region of Abf1p upstream of CS1 in a RanGTP-sensitive manner, suggesting that Abf1p has a second distinct NLS and can be imported into the nucleus by several overlapping pathways. We propose that the link between Abf1p and the nuclear transport machinery may also be important for partitioning multiple Abf1p-mediated nuclear processes.

Abstract
Autonomously replicating sequence-binding factor-1 (Abf1p) is an essential sequence-specific transcription factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae that participates in multiple nuclear events including DNA replication, transcription activation, and gene silencing. Numerous gene-specific analyses have implicated Abf1p in the transcriptional control of genes involved in a diverse range of cellular functions, leading to the notion that Abf1p acts as a global transcriptional regulator. Here we report findings from a genome-wide comparison of the gene expression profiles in the wild-type and abf1-1 temperature-sensitive mutant. The study identifies a total of 86 Abf1p-regulated genes (1.4% of the genome) of which 50 are activated and 36 are repressed by Abf1p. Interestingly, Abf1p binds to its own promoter in vivo and strongly represses its own transcription, suggesting a potential negative regulatory loop in Abf1p-mediated gene regulation. A comparison of our microarray data with the available databases reveals a significant overlap of genes regulated by Abf1p and those by several general transcription factors such as Mot1p and TAFs (TATA-binding protein-associated factors). Different mutant alleles of abf1 affect Abf1p-mediated transcription in a gene-dependent manner. Furthermore, Abf1p in vivo is associated with the promoter region of most Abf1p-activated but not with that of most Abf1p-repressed genes. Taken together, these results strongly suggest distinct underlying mechanisms by which Abf1p regulates gene expression.

Abstract
We present here a new computational method for discovering cis-regulatory elements that circumvents the need to cluster genes based on their expression profiles. Based on a model in which upstream motifs contribute additively to the log-expression level of a gene, this method requires a single genome-wide set of expression ratios and the upstream sequence for each gene, and outputs statistically significant motifs. Analysis of publicly available expression data for Saccharomyces cerevisiae reveals several new putative regulatory elements, some of which plausibly control the early, transient induction of genes during sporulation. Known motifs generally have high statistical significance.

Abstract
We previously found by using yeast, Candida maltosa, that cycloheximide (CYH) sensitivity of ribosomes is dependent on the 56th amino acid residues of a ribosomal protein, L413 (proline in sensitive and glutamine in resistant ribosomes). We also revealed that in this yeast, which has both L41-P type and L41-Q type genes, the expression of the latter type genes is induced by the addition of CYH in the medium to make the cells inducibly resistant to CYH. In this paper, we analyzed the promoter region of L41-Q2a, one of the CYH-inducible L41-Q type genes and found two elements required for the induction of expression: one was a GCRE (Gcn4p-responsive element of Saccharomyces cerevisiae)-like element and the other was a GT-rich element. This promoter region was also required for its expression under some other growth inhibitory conditions. Furthermore, it was suggested that Q-type ribosomes synthesized under these conditions are more resistant to these inhibitory conditions.

Abstract
In this report we describe studies which utilized yeast strains bearing gain and loss of function alleles of ABF1 in order to attempt to directly implicate Abf1p in modulating transcription of the TBP-encoding gene, SPT15, in vivo. We found that overexpression of Abf1p in a yeast cell increased transcription of the TBP-encoding gene and that this stimulation depended upon the exact sequence of the Abf1p binding site (ABF1) present in the gene. Further, in a yeast strain expressing a temperature sensitive form of Abf1p, occupancy of the chromosomal ABF1 site in the TBP-encoding gene was immediately lost following a temperature shift. Both results suggest that Abf1p drives transcription of the TBP-encoding gene. Surprisingly though we found that continuous ABF1 cis-element occupancy by Abf1p was not acutely required for normal levels of transcription of either the TBP-encoding gene or other "Abf1p-driven" genes tested. We propose a model to explain these results and suggest mechanisms by which Abf1p could activate gene transcription.

Abstract
Genes encoding the Candida albicans ribosomal proteins L39 and S7 (RPL39, RPS7) were isolated and sequenced. From RPL39 cDNA a single intron interrupting the fifth codon in the genomic sequence could be deduced. Two homologous RPL39 genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae contain a single intron in a conserved position. In contrast, C. albicans RPS7 was found to lack an intron, while both S. cerevisiae homologs are interrupted by single introns. The deduced L39 and S7 proteins contained 67% and 83% identical residues compared to the S. cerevisiae homologs. During hyphal induction the RPL39, RPS7 and RPL29 transcript levels increased three- to six-fold relative to ribosomal RNA, while ACT1 and RPS33 control transcripts were not regulated extensively. As suggested by unaltered transcript stabilities during hyphal induction, this regulation occurs on the transcriptional level; a conserved 18 bp palindromic sequence (5'-TTAGGGCTATAGCCCTAA-3'), which is present in the promoter regions of the RPL39 and RPS7 genes, may be involved in regulation.

Abstract
The 5' upstream region of the gene encoding isocitrate lyase of Candida tropicalis (UPR-ICL) is functional as a promoter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and it is regulated by carbon source; the expression of the gene is repressed when cells are grown on glucose, while it increases to a higher level in acetate-grown cells. Therefore, we have investigated regions in UPR-ICL responsible for gene expression in glucose-grown and acetate-grown cells. In glucose-grown cells, a deletion of the region between -801 and -569 (region G1) significantly decreased gene expression compared with that observed with the complete UPR-ICL. The region from -421 to -379 (region G2) also repressed gene expression in glucose-grown cells. In acetate-grown cells, two regions were found to strongly enhance gene expression, one between -728 and -569 (region A1) and the other between -370 and -356 (region A2). Whereas region A2 contained a sequence motif similar to the carbon-source-responsive element (CSRE), which mediates regulation by carbon source of S. cerevisiae ICL1, region A1 did not show similarity to any reported cis-acting elements. Deletion mutants of UPR-ICL containing only one of these regions showed that each region could independently activate gene expression to a similar level when the cells were grown on acetate. The influences of null mutations in the MIG1, SNF1 and CAT8 genes on regulation of UPR-ICL-mediated gene expression were examined. Expression of the ICL gene with full-length UPR-ICL increased about tenfold in mig1 cells grown on glucose, while little difference was observed in acetate-grown cells. The effects of snf1 and cat8 mutations were different between region-A1-mediated and region-A2-mediated gene expression in acetate-grown cells. Region-A2-mediated expression decreased 95% and 86% in snf1 and cat8 cells, respectively, while region-A1-mediated expression decreased 72% in snf1 cells and was not affected by the cat8 mutation. This finding indicates that region-A1-mediated gene expression is regulated by a pathway independent of CAT8, which is necessary for derepression of CSRE-mediated gene expression in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
We investigated the regulation of expression of a gene encoding malate synthase (MS) of an n-alkane-utilizable yeast Candida tropicalis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where its expression is highly induced by acetate. By comparing levels of gene expression in cells grown on glucose, acetate, lactate, and oleic acid, we found that the increase in gene expression was due to a glucose repression-derepression mechanism. In order to obtain information concerning the regulation of the gene expression, a fusion gene which consists of the 5'-upstream region of MS-2 (UPR-MS-2) and the lacZ gene (encoding Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase), was introduced into S. cerevisiae, and beta-galactosidase activities were measured with cells grown on glucose or acetate. Deletion analysis of UPR-MS-2 revealed that the region between -777 and -448 (against the translation initiation codon) enhanced the level of gene expression in both glucose- and acetate-grown cells. In this region, sequences which resemble binding sites of Rap1p/Grf1p/Tufp, a global transcription activator, were found at seven locations and one was found for another pleiotropic activator Abf1p. The result also suggested the presence of multiple upstream repression sequences (URSs), which function specifically in glucose-grown cells, in the region between -368 and -126. In the repressing region, there were three tandem C(A/T)CTCCC sequences and also a putative binding site of Mig1p, a transcriptional repressor which mediates glucose repression of several other genes. When MIG1 gene of S. cerevisiae was disrupted, the expression of the UPR-MS-2-lacZ gene in glucose-grown cells increased approx. 10-fold. Furthermore, the effect of deletion of a putative Mig1p binding site was abolished in the MIG1-disrupted strain, suggesting Mig1p binds to this site and brings about glucose repression. When the SNF1 gene was disrupted, the high level gene expression observed in acetate-grown cells bearing UPR-MS-2 was abolished. This indicated that derepression of UPR-MS-2 -mediated gene expression was dependent on Snf1p, as is the case of genes encoding isocitrate lyase and gluconeogenic enzymes in S. cerevisiae.

Abstract
We have determined the location of cis-acting elements that are important for the expression of RPO21 and RPO22, genes that encode the two largest subunits of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A series of 5'-end deletions and nucleotide substitutions in the upstream regions of RPO21 and RPO22 were tested for their effect on the expression of lacZ fusions of these genes. Deletion of sequences from -723 to -693 in RPO21, which disrupted two Reb1p-binding sites and an Abf1p-binding site, resulted in a 10-fold decrease in expression. A T-rich region downstream of these sites was also important for expression. Deletion of sequences from -437 to -392 in the RPO22-upstream, which resulted in a 30-fold decrease in expression, indicated that the Reb1p- and Abf1p-binding sites in this region were important for RPO22 expression, as was a T-rich sequence immediately downstream of these sites. The RPO21 and RPO22 upstream regions were capable of interacting in vitro (gel-mobility-shift assays) with Reb1p and Abf1p. The similarities in the type and organization of elements in the upstream regions of RPO21 and RPO22 suggest that expression of these genes may be regulated coordinately.

Abstract
A binding site for the transcription factor Abf1p was identified as an important promoter element of the gene that encodes Rpo26, a subunit common to all three yeast nuclear RNA polymerases (RNAP). Mutations in the Abf1p binding site were identified among a pool of rpo26 mutant alleles that confer synthetic lethality in combination with a temperature-sensitive mutation (rpo21-4) in the gene that encodes the largest subunit of RNAPII (Rpo21p). In the presence of the wild-type allele of RPO21 these rpo26 promoter mutations confer a cold-sensitive growth defect. Electrophoretic mobility-shift assays using purified Abf1p demonstrated that Abf1p binds to the RPO26 promoter and that the promoter mutations abolish this binding in vitro. Quantitation of the amount of RPO26 mRNA showed that mutations in the Abf1p binding site reduce the expression of RPO26 by approximately 60%. Mutations that affect Abf1p binding also result in a shift of the RPO26 transcriptional start sites to positions further upstream than normal. These results suggest that binding of the Abf1p transcription factor to the RPO26 promoter is important not only in establishing the level of transcription for this gene, but also in positioning the initiation sites of transcription.

Abstract
We have identified two new transcription factor binding sites upstream of the previously defined UAS within the phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) gene promoter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These sites are bound in vitro by the multifunctional factors Cpf1p and Reb1p. We have generated targeted deletions of Rap1p, Abf1p and Reb1p binding sites in the promoter of the chromosomal copy of the PGK gene. Northern blot analysis confirmed that most PGK promoter activity is mediated through the Rap1p binding site. However, significant effects are also mediated through both the Reb1p and Abf1p sites. In contrast, when the promoter is present on a high-copy-number plasmid, both the Abf1p and Reb1p sites play no role in transcriptional activation. The role of Cpf1p was examined using a cpf1 null strain. Cpf1p was found to have little if any, effect on activation of either the chromosomal or plasmid-borne PGK gene.

Abstract
Three abundant ubiquitous DNA-binding protein factors appear to play a major role in the control of ribosome biosynthesis in yeast. Two of these factors mediate the regulation of transcription of ribosomal protein genes (rp-genes) in yeasts. Most yeast rp-genes are under transcriptional control of Rap1p (repressor-activator protein), while a small subset of rp-genes is activated through Abf1p (ARS binding factor). The third protein, designated Reb1p (rRNA enhancer binding protein), which binds strongly to two sites located upstream of the enhancer and the promoter of the rRNA operon, respectively, appears to play a crucial role in the efficient transcription of the chromosomal rDNA. All three proteins, however, have many target sites on the yeast genome, in particular, in the upstream regions of several Pol II transcribed genes, suggesting that they play a much more general role than solely in the regulation of ribosome biosynthesis. Furthermore, some evidence has been obtained suggesting that these factors influence the chromatin structure and creat a nucleosome-free region surrounding their binding sites. Recent studies indicate that the proteins can functionally replace each other in various cases and that they act synergistically with adjacent additional DNA sequences. These data suggest that Abf1p, Rap1p, and Reb1p are primary DNA-binding proteins that serve to render adjacent cis-acting elements accessible to specific trans-acting factors.

Abstract
The SPR3 gene is selectively activated only during the sporulation phase of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc) life cycle. The predicted amino acid (aa) sequence has homology to microfilament proteins that are involved in cytokinesis and other proteins of unknown function. These include the products of Sc cell division cycle (CDC) genes involved in bud formation (Cdc3p, Cdc10p, Cdc11p and Cdc12p), Candida albicans proteins that accumulate in the hyphal phase (CaCdc3p and CaCdc10p), mouse brain-specific (H5p) and lymphocyte (Diff6p) proteins, Drosophila melanogaster (Dm) protein Pnutp (which is localized to the cleavage furrow of dividing cells), a Diff6p homologue (DmDiff6p), and the Sc septin protein (Sep1hp), a homologue of the 10-nm filament proteins of Sc. One strongly conserved region contains a potential ATP-GTP-binding domain. Primer extension analysis revealed six major transcription start points (tsp) beginning at -142 relative to the ATG start codon. The sequence immediately upstream from the tsp contains consensus binding sites for the HAP2/3/4 and ABFI transcription factors, a T-rich sequence and two putative novel elements for mid to late sporulation, termed SPR3 and PAL. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) and footprint analyses demonstrated that the ABFI protein binds to a region containing the putative ABFI site in vitro, and site-directed mutagenesis showed that the ABFI motif is essential for expression of SPR3 at the appropriate stage in sporulating cells.

Abstract
Autonomously replicating sequence (ARS)-binding factor 1 (ABF1) is a multifunctional protein involved in transcriptional activation and repression, as well as DNA replication, in yeast. The ADH1 gene, encoding alcohol dehydrogenase 1, contains two ABF1 consensus binding sites in the promoter and the coding regions. To examine the effect of ABF1 on expression of the ADH1 gene, we constructed an ADH1-lacZ fusion plasmid. Both ABF1 binding sites appeared to be transcriptional activators because deletions and mutations of these sites decreased transcriptional activity. The ABF1 binding sites also acted in an orientation-independent manner when a synthetic ABF1 binding site was inserted into the yeast CYC1 gene lacking its transcriptional activation region. A gel mobility shift assay showed that ABF1 bound in vitro to both ABF1 binding sites in the promoter and coding regions. In a glycerol medium the degree of activation by ABF1 was higher than in a glucose medium. The expression of ADH1 was activated synergistically by both ABF1 binding sites. These observations suggest that ABF1 transactivates the ADH1 gene through its binding sequences in both the promoter and coding regions.

Abstract
In the course of the European yeast genome sequencing project, we determined 23,920 bp of a continuous chromosome II right arm sequence. Analysis of data revealed 13 open reading frames (ORFs), three of which corresponded to previously identified genes; two tRNA genes and one repetitive element. One ORF showed considerable homology (46%) to a hypothetical chromosome III gene; another, putatively very hydrophobic gene product, was 30% identical to the heat-shock protein HSP30. Two ORFs were homologous to human genes.

Abstract
Autonomously replicating sequence binding factor 1 (ABF1) has been implicated in the control of a variety of gene expressions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this paper evidence is presented that ABF1 is involved in the glucose-dependent expression of the TDH3 gene which encodes glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. ABF1 binds to consensus sites located between -420 and -250, and between +77 and +200, and acts as a transactivator in an orientation-independent manner on both upstream and downstream sites. TDH3-lacZ fusions having an ABF1 consensus motif showed glucose-dependent expression of TDH3, whereas in the abf1 mutant strain JCA35 glucose-dependent expression disappeared. These findings suggest that ABF1 functions as a glucose-dependent transactivator for the expression of the TDH3 gene.

Abstract
In order to characterize individual protein components of the mitochondrial (mt) ribosome for regulatory, functional and evolutionary studies, the yeast nuclear gene MRP-L4 (accession No. Z30582), coding for the mt ribosomal protein (MRP) YmL4, has been cloned using oligodeoxyribonucleotides (oligos) deduced from a partial amino acid (aa) sequence [Graack et al., FEBS Lett. 242 (1988) 4-8] as screening probes. MRP-L4 is located on chromosome XII and codes for a slightly basic protein of 319 aa. The first 14 aa have not been found in the mature protein, and putatively form a signal peptide that is cleaved off during or after mt import. YmL4 has an N terminus very rich in Pro residues, and at its C terminus contains four hydrophobic domains. YmL4 shows no significant sequence similarity to any other sequence from the databases. Gene disruption shows the MRP-L4 product to be indispensable for mt function in cells growing on non-fermentable carbon sources. In contrast to nearly all other MRPs investigated so far, gene disruption of MRP-L4 also affects growth of yeast cells on fermentable carbon sources, suggesting additional cytosolic and/or mt functions of YmL4 besides its involvement in mt protein biosynthesis.

Abstract
The ARO3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for the phenylalanine-inhibited 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (EC 4.1.2.15) and is regulated by the general control system of amino acid biosynthesis through a single GCN4-binding site in its promoter. A combined deletion and mutation analysis of the ARO3 promoter region in a delta gcn4-background revealed two additional regulatory systems involved in ARO3 transcription. The ARO3 gene is (i) activated through a sequence element which binds the multifunctional DNA-binding protein ABF1 in vitro and (ii) repressed through an URS1 element, which binds the same protein in vitro as the URS1 element in the CAR1 promoter. Since both the ABF1-binding site and the URS1 element represent cis-acting elements of global transcription regulatory systems in yeast, the ARO3 gene is the first example of a GCN4-regulated gene which is both activated and repressed by global transcription factors. Activation of the ARO3 gene through the ABF1-binding site and repression through the URS1 element seem to be independent of each other and independent of activation by the GCN4 protein.

Abstract
The involvement of the ABFI transcription factor in organizing the chromatin structure of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ARS1 region has been previously postulated. We studied the ARS1 chromatin structure both on the chromosome and on plasmids carrying wild type or mutated ABFI binding sites, using a recently developed no-background technique for nucleosome mapping, coupled with high resolution micrococcal nuclease in vivo footprinting. We show that ABFI protein acts as a boundary element of chromatin structure, by limiting the invasion by nucleosomes toward the essential A-domain.

Abstract
Analysis of the upstream activation sequence (UAS) of the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) has demonstrated that a number of sequence elements are involved in its activity and two of these sequences are bound by the multifunctional factors Rap1p and Abf1p. In this report we show by in vivo footprinting that the regulatory factor encoded by GCR1 binds to two elements in the 3' half of the PGK UAS. These elements contain the sequence CTTCC, which was previously suggested to be important for the activity of the PGK UAS and has been shown to be able to bind Gcr1p in vitro. Furthermore, we find that Gcr1p positively influences PGK transcription, although it is not responsible for the carbon source dependent regulation of PGK mRNA synthesis. In order to mediate its transcriptional influence we find that Gcr1p requires the Rap1p binding site, in addition to its own, but not the Abf1p site. As neither a Rap1p nor a Gcr1p binding site alone is able to activate transcription, we propose that Gcr1p and Rap1p interact in an interdependent fashion to activate PGK transcription.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of a 12.5 kb fragment localized to the right arm of chromosome II of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been determined. The sequence contains eight putative genes. Two of them are contiguous and represent two ribosomal protein genes: SUP46 and URP1. SUP46 is implicated in translation fidelity and encodes the ribosomal protein S13. URP1 is homologous to the rat ribosomal protein gene L21. The open reading frame (ORF) YBR1245 is similar in its N-terminal part to transcription factors like SRF and MCM1. The ORF YBR1308 shows homology with proteins of the AAA-family (ATPases Associated with diverse cellular Activities). Two genes are predicted to encode putative membrane proteins.

Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of 23.6 kb of the right arm of chromosome XIV is described, starting from the centromeric region. Both strands were sequenced with an average redundancy of 4.87 per base pair. The overall G+C content is 38.8% (42.5% for putative coding regions versus 29.4% for non-coding regions). Twelve open reading frames (ORFs) greater than 100 amino acids were detected. Codon frequencies of the twelve ORFs agree with codon usage in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and all show the characteristics of low level expressed genes. Five ORFs (N2019, N2029, N2031, N2048 and N2050) are encoded by previously sequenced genes (the mitochondrial citrate synthase gene, FUN34, RPC34, PRP2 and URK1, respectively). ORF N2052 shows the characteristics of a transmembrane protein. Other elements in this region are a tRNA(Pro) gene, a tRNA(Asn) gene, a tau 34 and a truncated delta 34 element. Nucleotide sequence comparison results in relocation of the SIS1 gene to the left arm of the chromosome as confirmed by colinearity analysis.

Abstract
The fatty acid synthase genes FAS1 and FAS2 of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are under transcriptional control of pathway-specific regulators of phospholipid biosynthesis. However, site-directed mutagenesis of the respective cis-acting elements upstream of FAS1 and FAS2 revealed that additional sequences activating both genes must exist. A deletion analysis of the FAS1 promoter lacking the previously characterized inositol/choline-responsive-element motif defined a region (nucleotides -760 to -850) responsible for most of the remaining activation potency. Gel-retardation experiments and in-vitro DNase footprint studies proved the binding of the general regulatory factors Rap1p, Abf1p and Reb1p to this FAS1 upstream region. Mutation of the respective binding sites led to a drop of gene activation to 8% of the wild-type level. Similarly, we also demonstrated the presence of a Reb1p-binding site upstream of FAS2 and its importance for gene activation. Thus, in addition to the previously characterized FAS-binding factor 1 interacting with the inositol/choline-responsive-element motif, a second motif common to the promoter regions of both FAS genes could be identified. Transcription of yeast fatty acid synthase genes is therefore subjected to both the pathway-specific control affecting genes of phospholipid biosynthesis and to the activation by general transcription factors allowing a sufficiently high level of constitutive gene expression.

Abstract
A 5.6 kbp segment of DNA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XV has been isolated and sequenced. Genetic and nucleotide sequence analyses revealed that this region is closely linked to the ADE2 marker on chromosome XV and densely packed with genetic information. We show the gene organization of the entire region and report the nucleotide sequence of the gene, LEO1, which occurs in single copy in the haploid genome. The deduced amino acid sequence specifies an extremely hydrophilic protein with pronounced domain structure (molecular mass 53.9 kDa). The gene is constitutively expressed at a low level and is non-essential, as indicated by the absence of a phenotype from gene disruption mutants.

Abstract
Transcription of the yeast phosphoglycerate kinase gene (PGK) is activated by an array of nuclear factors including the multifunctional protein RAP1. We have demonstrated that the transcriptional co-activator GAL11, which was identified as an auxiliary factor to GAL4 and which is believed to interact with the zinc finger of the trans-activator, positively influences the level of PGK transcription on both fermentable and non-fermentable carbon sources. This positive effect is only observed when the RAP1 site in the upstream activation sequence (UAS) is present, implying that GAL11 acts through RAP1. Expression of the RAP1 gene is not reduced in the gal11 background, and in vivo footprinting shows that GAL11 does not influence RAP1 DNA-binding activity. Therefore the effect of GAL11 on PGK transcription must be mediated at the PGK UAS, presumably as part of the activation complex. It has been proposed that RAP1 may act as a facilitator of GCR1 binding at the PGK UAS and therefore it is conceivable that the target for GAL11 may in fact be GCR1. A further implication of this study is that GAL11 can interact with proteins such as RAP1 or GCR1 that are apparently structurally dissimilar from GAL4 and other zinc finger DNA-binding proteins.

Abstract
The abundant DNA-binding proteins ABF1 and CPF1 are members of a family of global regulators with diverse chromosomal functions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recent evidence suggests that these protein factors may be involved in establishing and maintaining well-defined chromatin in promoter regions and other genetic elements. We have investigated the involvement of ABF1 and CPF1 in chromatin organization at the QCR8 gene, encoding subunit VIII of the mitochondrial ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase. The promoter region of the QCR8 gene contains overlapping binding sites for ABF1 and CPF1. Nucleosome positioning studies indicate that the QCR8 gene is associated with a phased array of nucleosomes under both catabolite-repressed and derepressed growth conditions. Analysis of binding site mutants reveals that both ABF1 and CPF1 are involved in maintaining a nuclease-hypersensitive region in the QCR8 promoter. The chromatin structure at QCR8 during steady-state growth is, however, mainly dependent on binding of ABF1 to the promoter region. Implications of these findings for the role played by ABF1 and CPF1 in the regulation of mitochondrial biogenesis and other processes important for cell growth and division will be discussed.

Abstract
The rate of ribosomal protein gene (rp-gene) transcription in yeast is accurately adjusted to the cellular requirement for ribosomes under various growth conditions. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this co-ordinated transcriptional control have not yet been elucidated. Transcriptional activation of rp-genes is mediated through two different multifunctional transacting factors, ABF1 and RAP1. In this report, we demonstrate that changes in cellular rp-mRNA levels during varying growth conditions are not parallelled by changes in the in vitro binding capacity of ABF1 or RAP1 for their cognate sequences. In addition, the nutritional upshift response of rp-genes observed after addition of glucose to a culture growing on a non-fermentative carbon source turns out not to be the result of increased expression of the ABF1 and RAP1 genes or of elevated DNA-binding activity of these factors. Therefore, growth rate-dependent transcription regulation of rp-genes is most probably not mediated by changes in the efficiency of binding of ABF1 and RAP1 to the upstream activation sites of these genes, but rather through other alterations in the efficiency of transcription activation. Furthermore, we tested the possibility that cAMP may play a role in elevating rp-gene expression during a nutritional shift-up. We found that the nutritional upshift response occurs normally in several mutants defective in cAMP metabolism.

Abstract
We report the sequence of a 12,399 bp DNA fragment from the left arm of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosome XI. This fragment is located between the genetic loci mif2 and mak11. We have detected five new open reading frames (ORFs) longer than 300 bp provisionally called YKL248 to YKL252. One of them, YKL248 encodes a homolog of the UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from potato. The product of YKL251 contains the consensus for zinc binding proteins, similar to those of a number of fungal transcriptional activators. The three other ORFs do not show significant homology to known protein.

Abstract
The abundant multifunctional protein ABF1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae binds to the upstream region of several genes, including some ribosomal protein genes like the one encoding protein S33. Deletion of the ABF1-binding sequence lowers the transcription of these genes three- to more than ten-fold. We have isolated the S33 genes of two related yeast species, Kluyveromyces lactis and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Comparison of the nucleotide sequences of these S33 genes with their counterpart from S. cerevisiae shows a strong sequence similarity covering the whole of the coding regions. In contrast, little or no sequence similarity is found in the 5'-flanking regions of the three genes. Also the trailer regions differ considerably in both length and sequence from one species to another. An ABF1-binding site is present in the upstream region of the S33 gene of K. marxianus. Retardation analyses showed that this sequence is able to bind a protein present in Kluyveromyces cells with a molecular mass somewhat lower than that of S. cerevisiae ABF1. Functional analyses, using a beta-glucuronidase reporter system, showed that the ABF1-binding site is indeed involved in transcription activation of the K. marxianus S33 gene in Kluyveromyces cells. A S. cerevisiae ABF1-gene-specific probe showed only weak hybridization with Kluyveromyces DNA and Northern blots did not show a signal. These results indicate that S. cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces contain functionally related but structurally dissimilar ABF1-type proteins.

Abstract
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, several abundant, sequence-specific DNA binding proteins are involved in multiple aspects of chromosome function. In addition to functioning as transcriptional activators of a large number of yeast genes, they are also involved in transcriptional silencing, the initiation of DNA replication, centromere function and regulation of telomere length. This review will consider each of these proteins, focusing on what is known about the mechanisms of their multiple functions.

Abstract
We have localized gene MSS51 on chromosome XII of Saccharomyces cerevisiae between the RDN1 and CDC42 loci. 'Head to head' with MSS51 is another gene, QRI5, the function of which is unknown. However, the proximity of these genes, the structure of the intergenic region and the presence of an ABF1 binding site right in the middle of this region suggest that the MSS51 and QRI5 expressions are submitted to a common regulatory process.

Abstract
The nuclear gene for mitochondrial ribosomal protein YmL9 (MRP-L9) of yeast has been cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence characterizes YmL9 as a basic (net charge + 30) protein of 27.5 kDa with a putative signal peptide for mitochondrial import of 19 amino acid residues. The intact MRP-L9 gene is essential for mitochondrial function and is located on chromosome XV or VII. YmL9 shows significant sequence similarities to Escherichia coli ribosomal protein L3 and related proteins from various organisms of all three natural kingdoms as well as photosynthetic organelles (cyanelles). The observed structural conservation is located mostly in the C-terminal half and is independent of the intracellular location of the corresponding genes [Graack, H.-R., Grohmann, L. & Kitakawa, M. (1990) Biol. Chem. Hoppe Seyler 371, 787-788]. YmL9 shows the highest degree of sequence similarity to its eubacterial and cyanelle homologues and is less related to the archaebacterial or eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins. Due to their high sequence similarity to the YmL9 protein two mammalian cytoplasmic ribosomal proteins [MRL3 human and rat; Ou, J.-H., Yen, T. S. B., Wang, Y.-F., Kam, W. K. & Rutter, W. J. (1987) Nucleic Acids Res. 15, 8919-8934] are postulated to be true nucleus-encoded mitochondrial ribosomal proteins.

Abstract
We have entirely sequenced a 10,835 bp segment of the right arm from chromosome III contained in the J11D and J11D-K3B GF clones. The segment contains seven open reading frames longer then 100 amino acids. Three of them, RVS161 (Urdaci et al., 1990; Crouzet et al., 1991), ADP1 (Purnelle et al., 1991) and PGK1 (Hitzeman et al., 1982) have been described previously. YCR10C encodes a putative membrane protein. YCR8W (encoding a putative protein kinase) and YCR14C extend inside the D10H (Skala et al., 1991) and 62B5-2D clones respectively. Four ARS elements previously reported by Palzkill et al. (1986) are located between RVS161 and YCR10C.
