Abstract: | Summary We localized the chromosomal targets of several of the regulatory controls of expression of theCAR1 gene. Fusion tolacZ of several fragments of the 5′ non-coding region showed that induction ofCAR1 by arginine is positively regulated by the products of theARGR genes. The target lies upstream of another site where repression by the CARGRI molecule occurs. The latter control is not specific to arginine catabolism since it also affectsCYC-1 and indeed does not appear to involve arginine. The primary target of the two other regulatory allelesCARGRII andCARGRIII is not situated in the 5′ non-coding region. Deletion analysis supports the fusion data and confirms the order of the regulatory regions: 5′—nitrogen catabolite repression—activation by arginine—CARGRI-mediated repression—CAR1. |
