High impact information on CHA1

  • We found that NHP6A/B proteins are also required for full induction of the yeast CHA1 gene [1].
  • In addition, deletion of the gene-specific activator Cha4p did not affect derepression of CHA1 in cells depleted for Swh3p [2].
  • Transcriptional repression of the yeast CHA1 gene requires the chromatin-remodeling complex RSC [2].
  • The yeast CHA1 promoter is activated in the presence of serine or threonine [3].
  • Consistent with this interpretation, artificially recruited TBP was unable to perturb nucleosome positioning via a nucleosomal binding site, in contrast to a true activator such as GAL4, or to perturb the TATA-containing nucleosome at the CHA1 promoter [4].
 

Biological context of CHA1

 

Associations of CHA1 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of CHA1

  • Thus, the H3 amino terminus is required to prevent Cha4p from activating CHA1 in the absence of inducer [3].
 

Other interactions of CHA1

 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CHA1

  • Furthermore, derepression in the absence of the H3 amino terminus requires the primary activator of this promoter, Cha4p, which we show by chromatin immunoprecipitation to be constitutively bound to the CHA1 promoter in WT yeast [3].
