Abstract
In adopting the author's priority research fund, I will explain the transcription factors and binding DNA sequences of yeast. This article describes transcription factors and binding DNA sequences in yeast mating-type expression control. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is repressively regulated by the transcription factor Matα2 to regulate mating-type expression. The pathogenic yeast Candida albicans is actively regulated by the transcription factor Mata2 to regulate mating-type expression. In the common ancestor of yeast strains, it is presumed that the control of mating-type expression is actively regulated.
