title: Localization of the upstream regulatory sites of yeast iso2-cytochrome c gene.
abstract: In order to study the regulation of expression of the iso2-cytochrome c gene, we have constructed a fused gene between the 5'flanking region of the gene coding for the yeast iso2-cytochrome c and the coding region of the E. coli beta-galactosidase lacZ gene. When introduced in yeast cells this hybrid gene is expressed and regulated like the production of iso2-cytochrome c: it is under the control of the general catabolic repression and of the unlinked trans-acting CYP1 gene whose CYP1-18 allele causes an overproduction of iso2-cytochrome c. The expression of hybrid genes whose upstream region has been progressively shortened or altered by internal deletions was studied either in wild-type CYP1+ cells or in cells carrying the CYP1-18 allele grown either on glucose or on glycerol. It appears that the expression and the regulation of the iso2-cytochrome c gene is controlled by an upstream regulatory site composed of a positive and a negative element. This site is the target of regulation by the CYP1 gene product and, directly or through this gene, of the control by the general catabolic repression.
