Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay of metal-binding activator MAC1 is dependent on copper levels and 3'-UTR length in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Title: Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay of metal-binding activator MAC1 is dependent on copper levels and 3'-UTR length in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
ChIP experiments with the BNA2 promoter indicated that Mac1 works with Hst1-containing repressor complexes to silence BNA expression.
Title: The copper-sensing transcription factor Mac1, the histone deacetylase Hst1, and nicotinic acid regulate de novo NAD(+) biosynthesis in budding yeast.
These data suggest that Aft1p and Mac1p might corporately regulate transcription of CTR2.
Title: Metal-sensing transcription factors Mac1p and Aft1p coordinately regulate vacuolar copper transporter CTR2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
these results suggest that Mac1p can activate the expression of vacuolar copper transporter Ctr2p in response to copper deficiency, resulting in yeast resistance to copper starvation.
Title: Low-affinity copper transporter CTR2 is regulated by copper-sensing transcription factor Mac1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Deletion of the MAC1 and CTR1 genes involved in copper ion homeostasis exhibited freeze-thaw sensitivity, suggesting that copper ion homeostasis is required for freeze-thaw tolerance.
Title: Insufficiency of copper ion homeostasis causes freeze-thaw injury of yeast cells as revealed by indirect gene expression analysis.
