Regulation of the Yeast HO Gene

Breeden, L., Nasmyth, K.·1985·Cold Spring Harbor Symposia on Quantitative Biology

Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae has two haploid cell types (a and α) which can mate to form a third cell type: the a/α diploid. Cell type is primarily determined by the information encoded at the mating-type (MAT) locus. A haploid carries either the MATa or the MATα allele, and the diploid carries both. Master regulator genes, encoded by these two MAT alleles, affect the expression of many genes and thereby cause cell type-specific differentiation. Two genes from MATα (called α1 and β2) and one gene from MATa (a1) are involved in regulating cell-type-specific processes. The α1 gene product induces transcription of α-specific genes, while α2 turns off a-specific genes. In a cells, and indeed in cells lacking active MAT genes, a-specific genes are constitutively expressed. When the a/α diploid is formed, a1 and α2 both act to turn off α1 transcription, to repress haploid specific gene expression, and to induce diploid specific...

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
