Gene expression profile of Tra1 GID (Gal4 interaction defective) mutants

ABSTRACT: Promoter-specific transcriptional activators (activators) stimulate transcription through direct interactions with one or more components of the transcription machinery, termed the “target”. Previous studies have provided evidence that the Tra1 subunit of the yeast SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5-acetyltransferase) complex is the target of the yeast activator Gal4. However, several other general transcription factors, in particular the mediator complex, have also been implicated as Gal4 targets. To investigate the essentiality of Tra1 as a target of Gal4, here we derive Tra1 mutants that are selectively defective for interaction with Gal4 in vivo (Gal4 Interaction Defective (GID) mutants). In contrast to wild-type Tra1, Tra1 GID mutants are not recruited by Gal4 to the promoter and cannot support Gal4-
