Functions of Protosilencers in the Formation and Maintenance of Heterochromatin in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, transcriptionally silent heterochromatin at HML and HMR loci is established by silencers that recruit SIR complex and promote its propagation along chromatin. Silencers consist of various combinations of two or three binding sites for origin recognition complex (ORC), Ab...
