Screening of histone mutants reveals a domain within the N-terminal tail of histone H3 that regulates the Tup1-independent repressive role of Cyc8 at the active FLO1
Abstract Yeast flocculation relies on cell surface flocculin proteins encoded by the FLO1 gene. The expression of FLO1 is antagonistically regulated by the Tup1-Cyc8 and the Swi-Snf complexes. The Post translational modifications of core histones regulate the transcription of Tup1-Cyc8-regulated genes. However, the mechanisms by which the physical presence of tail residues regulate FLO1 transcription process and flocculation is yet to be completely understood.
