We analysed the genome-wide regulatory properties of an artificial transcription activator in
which the DNA-binding domain of the yeast transcription factor, Pdr1, was fused to the
activation domain of Gal4 (Pdr1* GAD). This Pdr1* GAD chimera was put under the control
of the inducible GAL1 promoter. DNA microarray analyses showed that all the target genes
upregulated by the well-studied native gain-of-function Pdr1-3 mutant were similarly
activated by the chimerical factor Pdr1* GAD upon galactose induction. Additionally, this …
We analysed the genome-wide regulatory properties of an artificial transcription activator in which the DNA-binding domain of the yeast transcription factor, Pdr1, was fused to the activation domain of Gal4 (Pdr1* GAD). This Pdr1* GAD chimera was put under the control of the inducible GAL1 promoter. DNA microarray analyses showed that all the target genes upregulated by the well-studied native gain-of-function Pdr1-3 mutant were similarly activated by the chimerical factor Pdr1* GAD upon galactose induction. Additionally, this kinetic approach led us not only to confirm previously published targets, but also to define a hierarchy among members of the Pdr1 regulon. Our observations prove, for the first time at the complete genome level, that the DNA-binding domain of Pdr1 is sufficient to guide its specificity. We propose that this approach could be useful for the study of new transcription factors identified in silico from sequenced organisms.
