Changes in histone gene dosage as well as mutations within some histone genes suppress delta insertion mutations in the HIS4 and LYS2 loci of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by altering the site of transcription initiation. We have found that three histone regulatory (hir) mutations, identified by their effects on the regulation of histone gene expression, suppress the same insertion mutations. In addition, we have examined whether any previously identified spt (suppressor of Ty) mutations might suppress the delta insertion alleles because of effects on histone gene regulation. Our results demonstrate that mutations in the histone genes SPT11/HTA1 and SPT12/HTB1 and in three other SPT genes, SPT1, SPT10 and SPT21, confer Hir- phenotypes. The spt1 mutation was found to be an allele of HIR2 while the spt10 and spt21 mutations are not in any of the known HIR genes.
组蛋白基因剂量的变化以及某些组蛋白基因内的突变,通过改变转录起始位点,抑制酿酒酵母HIS4和LYS2基因座中的δ插入突变。我们发现,通过对组蛋白基因表达调控的影响鉴定出的三个组蛋白调控(hir)突变,抑制相同的插入突变。此外,我们研究了之前鉴定出的任何spt(Ty抑制子)突变是否可能由于对组蛋白基因调控的影响而抑制δ插入等位基因。我们的结果表明,组蛋白基因SPT11/HTAⅠ和SPT12/HTB1以及其他三个SPT基因SPT1、SPT10和SPT21中的突变赋予Hir-表型。发现spt1突变是HIR2的一个等位基因,而spt10和spt21突变不在任何已知的HIR基因中。
