The HIS7 gene of Saccharomyces
cerevisiae encodes a bifunctional glutamine
amidotransferase:cyclase catalyzing two reactions that lead to the
formation of biosynthetic intermediates of the amino acid histidine and
the purine adenine. The HIS7 gene is activated by GCN4p
under environmental conditions of amino acid starvation through two
synergistic upstream sites GCRE1 and GCRE2. The BAS1p-BAS2p complex
activates the HIS7 gene in response to adenine limitation.
For this activation the proximal GCN4p-binding site GCRE2 is required.
GCN4p and BAS1p bind to GCRE2 in vitro. Under conditions of
simultaneous amino acid starvation and adenine limitation the effects
of GCN4p and BAS1/2p are additive and both factors are necessary for
maximal HIS7 transcription. These results suggest that
GCN4p and BAS1/2p are able to act simultaneously through the same DNA
sequence in vivo and use this site independently from each
other in a non-exclusive manner.
