The <i>Candida glabrata</i> Amt1 copper‐sensing transcription factor requires Swi/Snf and Gcn5 at a critical step in copper detoxification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The yeast Candida glabrata rapidly autoactivates transcription of the AMT1 gene in response to potentially toxic copper levels through the copper-inducible binding of the Amt1 transcription factor to a metal response element (MRE) within a positioned nucleosome. Our previous studies have characterized the role of a 16 bp homopolymeric dA:dT DNA structural element in facilitating rapid Amt1 access to the AMT1 promoter nucleosomal MRE. In this study, we have used the genetically more facile yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to identify additional cellular factors that are important for promoting rapid autoactivation of the AMT1 gene in response to toxic copper levels. We demonstrate that the Swi/Snf nucleosome remodelling complex and the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5 are both essential for AMT1 gene autoregulation, and that the requirement for these chromatin remodelling factors is target gene specific. Chromatin accessibility measurements performed in vitro and in vivo indicate that part of the absolute requirement for these factors is derived from their involvement in facilitating nucleosomal access to the AMT1 promoter MRE. Additionally, these data implicate the involvement of Swi/Snf and Gcn5 at multiple levels of AMT1 gene autoregulation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
