The SIN3 global regulatory factor affects expression of many yeast genes, including the phospholipid biosynthetic gene, INO1. Mutations in the SIN3 gene result in elevated levels of INO1 expression under conditions that normally confer full repression of INO1 transcription, indicating that SIN3 is a negative regulator of INO1. In this study, the INO1 promoter was analyzed for sequences that play a role in responding to SIN3-mediated repression. Two distinct promoter elements, the upstream repression sequence (URS1) and the INO1 upstream activation sequence (UASINO) both were found to be involved in enabling SIN3 to repress INO1 expression.
SIN3全局调控因子影响许多酵母基因的表达,包括磷脂生物合成基因INO1。SIN3基因突变导致INO1在通常完全抑制INO1转录的条件下表达水平升高,这表明SIN3是INO1的负调控因子。在本研究中,对INO1启动子进行了分析,以寻找在响应SIN3介导的抑制中起作用的序列。发现两个不同的启动子元件,即上游抑制序列(URS1)和INO1上游激活序列(UASINO),均参与使SIN3抑制INO1的表达。
