In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as in other eukaryotes, some regions of the genome have a much higher rate of meiotic recombination than others. We show below that the binding of the RAP1 protein to a site upstream of the HIS4 gene is necessary for a high rate of meiotic (but not mitotic) recombination at this locus. A mutation in the RAP1 binding site at HIS4 results in a decrease in recombination; overproduction of RAP1 causes an increase in recombination at HIS4 above wild-type levels.
与其他真核生物一样,在酿酒酵母中,基因组的某些区域减数分裂重组率比其他区域高得多。我们在下文表明,RAP1蛋白与HIS4基因上游位点的结合对于该位点高频率的减数分裂(而非有丝分裂)重组是必需的。HIS4处RAP1结合位点的突变导致重组减少;RAP1的过量表达使HIS4处的重组增加至高于野生型水平。
