The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SPT8 gene encodes a very acidic protein that is functionally related to SPT3 and TATA-binding protein.
TLDR
Data suggest that the SPT8 protein is required, directly or indirectly, for TBP function at particular promoters and that the role of SPT 8 may be to promote a functional interaction between SPT3 and TBP.

Polyadenylation of telomerase RNA in budding yeast.
TLDR
By putting the RNA under the control of an inducible promoter, it is shown that synthesis of the poly(A)+ RNA precedes that of thepoly(A)- fraction, which supports, but does not prove, a model in which all telomerase RNA is first polyadenylated and then rapidly processed to give the stable poly( A)-form.

Interaction between PRP11 and SPP91 yeast splicing factors and characterization of a PRP9-PRP11-SPP91 complex.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that protein-protein interactions occur between SPP91 and PRP11, which strongly suggests that the PRP9-SPP91-PRP11 complex is a key element of the splicing machinery.

Role of the catabolite activator protein in the maltose regulon of Escherichia coli
  • C. Chapon
  • Biology
    Journal of bacteriology
  • 1 May 1982
TLDR
In wild-type cells, CAP appears to control malPQ expression mainly, if not solely, by regulating the concentration of MalT protein in the cell, both by regulating malT expression and by a more direct action, probably exerted in the promoters of these operons.

Action of CAP on the malT promoter in vitro
TLDR
Results suggest that CAP stimulates malT expression by promoting the binding of polymerase to the promoter, are compared with those obtained in other systems.

On the different binding affinities of CRP at the lac, gal and malT promoter regions.
TLDR
The stoichiometry of CRP binding to various DNA fragments carrying the lac, malT or gal promoters in the presence of cAMP is determined using a gel electrophoresis method and it is suggested that, upon binding, the protein introduces a local bend (or a kink) in the DNA structure.

Expression of malT, the regulator gene of the maltose region in Escherichia coli, is limited both at transcription and translation.
TLDR
Six mutations, which lead to an increase in malT expression, were mapped by sequencing techniques, and it was found that the promoter and the ribosome binding site are both inefficient in a wild‐type malT gene.

Characterization and expression of the structural gene for pullulanase, a maltose-inducible secreted protein of Klebsiella pneumoniae
TLDR
Some strains of Klebsiella pneumonia secrete pullulanase, a debranching enzyme which produces linear molecules (maltodextrins, amylose) from amylopectin and glycogen, which was introduced into Escherichia coli on a multiple-copy-number plasmid or as a single copy in the chromosome.

Interactions between PRP9 and SPP91 splicing factors identify a protein complex required in prespliceosome assembly.
TLDR
It is shown that the deletion of the second carboxy-terminal motif results in a dominant lethal phenotype and it is demonstrated that the PRP9 protein acts after the formation of the U1 snRNP-pre-mRNA complex.

Structure of Two Divergent Promoters Located in Front of the Gene Encoding Pullulanase in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Positively Regulated by the malT Product
TLDR
It is demonstrated that pullulanase is probably a lipoprotein and an additional malT-controlled promoter lies adjacent to the pulA promoter and is oriented in the opposite direction.
