Templates were prepared with either the TATA box or transcription start sites of the yeast CYC1 promoter in a nucleosome. In both cases, initiation in an unfractionated yeast RNA polymerase II transcription system was abolished by the nucleosome. The inhibition appeared to be relieved by the activator protein Gal4-VP16 binding to a site upstream of the promoter. Inhibition was not relieved, however, in a transcription system reconstituted from purified components, indicating a requirement for additional factors for the effect of Gal4-VP16.
模板是用酵母CYC1启动子的TATA盒或转录起始位点在核小体中制备的。在这两种情况下,未分级的酵母RNA聚合酶II转录系统中的起始都被核小体所抑制。这种抑制似乎通过激活蛋白Gal4-VP16与启动子上游的位点结合而得到缓解。然而,在由纯化成分重构的转录系统中,抑制并未得到缓解,这表明Gal4-VP16发挥作用还需要其他因子。
