  • The sequence GTGGCAAA was overrepresented upstream of genes in the cluster containing genes with a potential functional role in the 26S proteosome. This sequence is the consensus-binding site for Rpn4p, a key regulator of proteosome function, and it is found in a number of genes involved in protein degradation (Mannhaupt et al. 1999). The sequence CCAATCA was overrepresented upstream of genes in the cluster of genes, along with hydrogen-transporting ATP synthase genes that have a putative mitochondrial function. This sequence contains the consensus HAP2 binding-site CCAAT(Ozsarac et al. 1997).

  • ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
