DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the galactose gene cluster of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1985

J H Proffitt

Five DNase I-hypersensitive regions were associated with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae galactose gene cluster during both galactose induction and glucose repression of transcription. Four hypersensitive regions were located in areas flanking the GAL cluster genes, and one site occurred within GAL10. A DNase I-hypersensitive region located between the 5' ends of divergently transcribed GAL10 and GAL1 contained sequences essential for the transcription of both genes.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003850	Deoxyribonuclease I	An enzyme capable of hydrolyzing highly polymerized DNA by splitting phosphodiester linkages, preferentially adjacent to a pyrimidine nucleotide. This catalyzes endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA yielding 5'-phosphodi- and oligonucleotide end-products. The enzyme has a preference for double-stranded DNA.

D004271	DNA, Fungal	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of fungi.	Fungal DNA
D005690	Galactose	An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood.
