Description of YCL064C: Catabolic L-serine (L-threonine) deaminase, catalyzes the degradation of both L-serine and L-threonine; required to use serine or threonine as the sole nitrogen source, transcriptionally induced by serine and threonine[1][2]

Other Topic: Gene regulation

Loss of the histone H3 amino terminus (but not that of H4) causes constitutive activation and chromatin remodeling of CHA1. The constitutive activation requires the activator Cha4p, which is bound to the promoter in wild type yeast under both repressed and activating conditions. [3] [4]


Other Topic: Chromatin structure

TATA element is nucleosomal in repressed promoter; nucleosome is disrupted upon activation. This remodeling does not require SWI/SNF or Gcn5p and may occur independently of TBP recruitment. [5] [4]
