SPT16

CDC68, SSF1, chromatin-remodeling protein SPT16, L000002038, YGL207W
Subunit of the heterodimeric FACT complex (Spt16p-Pob3p); FACT associates with chromatin via interaction with Nhp6Ap and Nhp6Bp, and reorganizes nucleosomes to facilitate access to DNA by RNA and DNA polymerases; SPT16 specifically required for diauxic shift-induced H2B deposition onto rDNA genes; some mutations cause reduced nucleosome occupancy over highly transcribed regions of the yeast genome
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)
PREY

ASF1

CIA1, nucleosome assembly factor ASF1, L000000126, YJL115W
Nucleosome assembly factor; involved in chromatin assembly and disassembly, anti-silencing protein that causes derepression of silent loci when overexpressed; plays a role in regulating Ty1 transposition; relocalizes to the cytosol in response to hypoxia
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Dosage Growth Defect

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene causes a growth defect in a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

FACT and Asf1 regulate nucleosome dynamics and coactivator binding at the HO promoter.

Takahata S, Yu Y, Stillman DJ

Transcriptional activators and coactivators overcome repression by chromatin, but regulation of chromatin disassembly and coactivator binding to promoters is poorly understood. Activation of the yeast HO gene follows the sequential binding of both sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins and coactivators during the cell cycle. Here, we show that the nucleosome disassembly occurs in waves both along the length of the promoter and ... [more]
