Abstract

The yeast genome sequence is now known, a major technical accomplishment that offer unprecedented opportunities for study of the cell biology of the simplest eukaryote. Knowledge of the interactions of regulatory and structural proteins with DNA in vivo is important for application-of the yeast DNA sequence to its function. This proposal addresses how to accomplish that goal. It builds on emerging applications of DNA methyltransferases to map protein-DNA interactions in living cells by developing methodology that will allow resolution (
