Ume6 Acts as a Stable Platform To Coordinate Repression and Activation of Early Meiosis-Specific Genes in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In response to nutrient starvation, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae abandons mitotic proliferation and embarks on a differentiation process that leads through meiosis to the formation of haploid spores. This process is driven by cascading waves of meiosis-specific-gene expression. The early meiosis-specific genes are repressed during mitotic proliferation by the DNA-binding protein Ume6 in combination with repressors Rpd3 and Sin3. The expression of meiosis-specific transcription factor Ime1 leads to activation of the early meiosis-specific genes. We investigated the stability and promoter occupancy of Ume6 in sporulating cells and determined that it remains bound to early meiosis-specific gene promoters when those genes are activated. Furthermore, we find that the repressor Rpd3 remains associated with Ume6 after the transactivator Ime1 has joined the complex and that the Gcn5 and Tra1 components of the SAGA complex bind to the promoter of IME2 in an Ime1-dependent fashion to induce transcription of the early meiosis-specific genes. Our investigation supports a model whereby Ume6 provides a platform allowing recruitment of both activating and repressing factors to coordinate the expression of the early meiosis-specific genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
