Involvement of a CCAAT-binding complex in the expression of a nitrogen-starvation-specific gene, isp6+, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
The fission yeast gene isp6+ is needed in nitrogen-starvation response but its transcriptional regulation has been unclear. isp6+ was repressed under nutrient conditions, in which cAMP-dependent protein kinase A, the stress-activated protein kinase cascade, and the CCAAT-binding complex were concerned. The CCAAT-binding complex also was involved in the induction of isp6+ during nitrogen starvation.
