Abstract
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model organism for studying chromatin regulation with high-resolution genome-wide analyses. Since newly generated genome-wide data are often compared with publicly available datasets, expanding our dataset repertoire will be beneficial for the field. Information on transcription start sites (TSSs) determined at base pair resolution is essential for elucidating mechanisms of transcription and related chromatin regulation, yet no datasets that cover two different cell types are available. Here, we present a CAGE (cap analysis of gene expression) dataset for a-cells and α-cells grown in defined and rich media. Cell type-specific genes were differentially expressed as expected, ensuring the reliability of the data. Some of the differentially expressed TSSs were medium-specific or detected due to unrecognized chromosome rearrangement. By comparing the CAGE data with a high-resolution nucleosome map, major TSSs were primarily found in +1 nucleosomes, with a peak approximately 30 bp from the promoter-proximal end of the nucleosome. The dataset is available at DDBJ/GEA.

Abstract
Binding sites for the transcription factor Rap1 are widespread in the yeast genome. With respect to many, but not all, genes, Rap1p has an apparent activation function. Whether Rap1 is itself a transcriptional activator, or whether it is in some way required for activation by additional factors, is not clear. We have identified a previously unrecognized Rap1p binding site in the internal regulatory region of Ty1 elements. We demonstrate that this site is capable of binding Rap1 in vitro and that, in vivo, Rap1p plays an important regulatory role in Ty1 and Ty1-mediated adjacent gene expression. Our data suggest that in Ty1 elements, maximal levels of RAP1-mediated activation depend on the formation of a complex with Mcm1, an independent DNA-binding protein that functions in transcription as well as in DNA replication, and with a third factor, IBF, previously identified as a binding activity with a site situated between the Rap1p and Mcm1p binding sites in this region of Ty1 elements.

Abstract
Retrotransposition of the budding yeast long terminal repeat retrotransposon Ty3 is activated during mating. In this study, proteins that associate with Ty3 Gag3 capsid protein during virus-like particle (VLP) assembly were identified by mass spectrometry and screened for roles in mating-stimulated retrotransposition. Components of RNA processing bodies including DEAD box helicases Dhh1/DDX6 and Ded1/DDX3, Sm-like protein Lsm1, decapping protein Dcp2, and 5' to 3' exonuclease Xrn1 were among the proteins identified. These proteins associated with Ty3 proteins and RNA, and were required for formation of Ty3 VLP retrosome assembly factories and for retrotransposition. Specifically, Dhh1/DDX6 was required for normal levels of Ty3 genomic RNA, and Lsm1 and Xrn1 were required for association of Ty3 protein and RNA into retrosomes. This role for components of RNA processing bodies in promoting VLP assembly and retrotransposition during mating in a yeast that lacks RNA interference, contrasts with roles proposed for orthologous components in animal germ cell ribonucleoprotein granules in turnover and epigenetic suppression of retrotransposon RNAs.

Abstract
The aim of this review is to describe the level of intimacy between Ty retrotransposons (Ty1-Ty5) and their host the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The effects of Ty location in the genome and of host proteins on the expression and mobility of Ty elements are highlighted. After a brief overview of Ty diversity and evolution, we describe the factors that dictate Ty target-site preference and the impact of targeting on Ty and adjacent gene expression. Studies on Ty3 and Ty5 have been especially informative in unraveling the role of host factors (Pol III machinery and silencing proteins, respectively) and integrase in controlling the specificity of integration. In contrast, not much is known regarding Ty1, Ty2 and Ty4, except that their insertion depends on the transcriptional competence of the adjacent Pol III gene and might be influenced by some chromatin components. This review also brings together recent findings on the regulation of Ty1 retrotransposition. A large number of host proteins (over 30) involved in a wide range of cellular processes controls either directly or indirectly Ty1 mobility, primarily at post-transcriptional steps. We focus on several genes for which more detailed analyses have permitted the elaboration of regulatory models. In addition, this review describes new data revealing that repression of Ty1 mobility also involves two forms of copy number control that act at both the trancriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Since S. cerevisiae lacks the conserved pathways for copy number control via transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing found in other eukaryotes, Ty1 copy number control must be via another mechanism whose features are outlined. Ty1 response to stress also implicates activation at both transcriptional and postranscriptional steps of Ty1. Finally, we provide several insights in the role of Ty elements in chromosome evolution and yeast adaptation and discuss the factors that might limit Ty ectopic recombination.

Abstract
Recombination between repeated DNA sequences can have drastic consequences on the integrity of the genome. Repeated sequences are abundant in most eukaryotes, yet the mechanism that prevents recombination between them is currently unknown. Ty elements, the main family of dispersed repeats in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, exhibit low levels of exchange. Other regions in the genome have relatively high rates of meiotic recombination (hotspots). We show that a Ty element adjacent to the HIS4 recombination hotspot substantially reduces its activity, eliminating local DSB formation. We demonstrate that the Ty has a closed (nuclease-insensitive) chromatin configuration that is also imposed on the flanking DNA sequences. The compact chromatin structure is determined by sequences at the N terminus of the Ty. Increased binding of the Rap1 protein to the hotspot restores both open chromatin conformation and DSB formation. The chromatin configuration of Ty elements precludes initiation of recombination, thus preventing potentially lethal exchanges between repeated sequences.

Abstract
Modulation of host cellular GTPases through the injection of the effector proteins SopE2 and SptP is essential for Salmonella typhimurium to enter into non-phagocytic cells. Here we show that expression of the guanine nucleotide exchange factor for Cdc42 SopE2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae leads to the activation of Fus3 and Kss1 MAPKs, which operate in the mating and filamentation pathways, causing filamentous growth in haploid yeast cells. Furthermore, it promotes the activation of the cell integrity MAPK Slt2. Cdc42 activation by removal of its putative intrinsic GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs), Rga1, Rga2, and Bem3, also results in the phosphorylation of Kss1, Fus3, and Slt2 MAPKs. These data support the role of these GAP proteins as negative regulators of Cdc42, confirm the modulating effect of this GTPase on the filamentation and mating pathways and point to a novel connection between Cdc42 and the cell integrity pathway. Cdc42-induced activation of Slt2 occurs in a mating and filamentation pathway-dependent manner, but it does not require the function of Rho1, which is the GTPase that operates in the cell integrity pathway. Moreover, we report that Salmonella SptP can act as a GAP for Cdc42 in S. cerevisiae, down-regulating MAPK-mediated signaling. Thus, yeast provides a useful system to study the interaction of bacterial pathogenic proteins with eukaryotic signaling pathways. Furthermore, these proteins can be used as a tool to gain insight into the mechanisms that regulate MAPK-mediated signaling in eukaryotes.

Abstract
The activity of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae pheromone signal transduction pathway is regulated by Cln1/2-Cdc28 cyclin-dependent kinase. High level expression of CLN2 can repress activation of the pathway by mating factor or by deletion of the alpha-subunit of the heterotrimeric G-protein. We now show that CLN2 overexpression can also repress FUS1 induction if the signaling pathway is activated at the level of the beta-subunit of the G-protein (STE4) but not when activated at the level of downstream kinases (STE20 and STE11) or at the level of the transcription factor STE12. This epistatic analysis indicates that repression of pheromone signaling pathway by Cln2-Cdc28 kinase takes place at a level around STE20. In agreement with this, a marked reduction in the electrophoretic mobility of the Ste20 protein is observed at the time in the cell cycle of maximal expression of CLN2. This mobility change is constitutive in cells overexpressing CLN2 and absent in cells lacking CLN1 and CLN2. These changes in electrophoretic mobility correlate with repression of pheromone signaling and suggest Ste20 as a target for repression of signaling by G1 cyclins. Two morphogenic pathways for which Ste20 is essential, pseudohyphal differentiation and haploid-invasive growth, also require CLN1 and CLN2. Together with the previous observation that Cln1 and Cln2 are required for the function of Ste20 in cytokinesis, this suggests that Cln1 and Cln2 regulate the biological activity of Ste20 by promoting morphogenic functions, while inhibiting the mating factor signal transduction function.

Abstract
The transcription factor Tec1 is involved in pseudohyphal differentiation and agar-invasive growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells. The sole element in the TEC1 promoter that has thus far been shown to control Tec1 function is the filament response element. We find that the TEC1 promoter also contains several pheromone response element sequences which are likely to be functional: TEC1 transcription is induced by mating factor, cell cycle regulated and dependent on the Ste4, Ste18 and Ste5 components of the mating factor signal transduction pathway. Using alleles of the transcription factor Ste12 that are defective in DNA binding, transcriptional induction or cooperativity with other transcription factors, we find little correlation between TEC1 transcript levels and agar-invasive growth.

Abstract
The Kluyveromyces linear plasmids, pGKL1 and pGKL2, carrying terminal protein (TP), are located in the cytoplasm and have a unique gene expression system with the plasmid-specific promoter element termed UCS, which functions only in the cytoplasm. In this study we have developed an in vivo assay system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae which enables the detection of a rare migration of the yeast cytoplasmic plasmid to the nucleus, using a pGKL1-derived cytoplasmic linear plasmid pCLU1. pCLU1 had both the UCS-fused LEU2 gene (a cytoplasmic marker) and the native URA3 gene (a nuclear marker) and therefore its cytoplasmic-nucleo localized could be determined by the phenotypic analysis of the marker. The nuclearly migrated plasmids were often detected as linear plasmids having the telomere sequence of the host yeast at both ends, although circular plasmids were also found. The circular form was produced by the the terminal fusion of pCLU1. Insertion of a Ty element into a nuclearly migrated plasmid was observed, allowing the ROAM-regulated expression of the adjacent nuclearly silent UCS-fused LEU2 gene. The nuclearly located plasmids, whether linear or circular, were less sensitive to UV-mediated curing than pGKL and pCLU1.

Abstract
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, expression of a gene adjacent to the retrotransposon Ty1 is often mediated by Ty-internal sequences. We have identified novel mutants, tye7, which are affected in Ty1-mediated expression of ADH2 through a Ty1 sequence distal to the 5' long terminal repeat sequence. The TYE7 gene has been isolated and characterized. It encodes a 33 kDa protein whose N-terminal third is extremely rich in serine residues (28%). Within its C-terminal sequence, a remarkable similarity to Myc and Max proteins can be found. Thus, TYE7 is a potential member of the basic region/helix-loop-helix/leucine-zipper protein family. TYE7 function is not essential for growth. It may primarily function as a transcriptional activator in Ty1-mediated gene expression, as has been confirmed by the activation of reporter gene expression by a LexA-TYE7 hybrid protein. ADH2 activation by defined Ty1 derivatives revealed that TYE7 acts positively through the more distal Ty1 enhancer element (region D), and negatively in a region between A (the 5' proximal enhancer element) and D.

Abstract
By recessive mutations, we have identified five genes, TYE1-TYE5, that are required for Ty-mediated expression of ADH2. These tye mutations not only suppress transcription of ADH2 when associated with a Ty element but are also defective in transcription of all Ty1 and Ty2 elements. Moreover, some of these mutations cause growth defects on non-fermentable carbon sources as well as sporulation defects. tye mutations also strongly suppress ADH2 expression when controlled by a polyA/T insertion mutation. Genetic analysis revealed that genes TYE3 and TYE4 are allelic to the previously identified genes SNF2 and SNF5 which code for transcription factors. These findings suggest that TYE gene products influence transcription of many genes rather than specifically Ty and Ty-mediated transcription. We have also found that null alleles of certain STE genes (ste7, ste11 and ste12), known to affect cell-type specific gene expression and expression of some Ty-adjacent genes, have a clear effect on Ty-controlled ADH2 expression depending on the carbon source. On the basis of ADH2 transcript levels in glucose-grown cells, all three ste alleles cause of five-fold reduction of ADH2 expression/transcription. In ethanol-grown cells, ste11 and ste12 mutations caused an almost complete loss of Ty-mediated ADH2 activation while ste7 has only a rather moderate effect. Surprisingly, ste11 and ste12 mutations lead to a significant increase in total Ty transcript levels. This would indicate that the STE12 protein, which is known to bind specifically to Ty1 sequences and thereby serve as an activator of a Ty-adjacent gene, can negatively modulate Ty transcription.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
