TL;DR
The results suggest that TUP1/SSN6 have a positive effect on the activity of HAP1 and this effect is mediated through the heme domain.
Abstract
The activity of the yeast transcriptional activator HAP1 is controlled by heme and the heme effect is mediated through the heme domain of HAP1. In this report, we show that HAP1 activity is significantly reduced in strains deleted of TUP1 or SSN6, and addition of a heme analog does not allow HAP1 to regain its full activity. Deletion of the heme domain alleviates the requirement for TUP1/SSN6. The results suggest that TUP1/SSN6 have a positive effect on the activity of HAP1 and this effect is mediated through the heme domain. Although TUP1/SSN6 generally repress transcription of many genes, our data indicate they may have positive effect on the expression of certain genes.

Several experiments indicate that UAS1 and UAS2 are regulated distinctly at the molecular level, and HAP1 appears to encode a protein that mediates catabolite repression of UAS 1 by responding to intracellular heme levels.

It is shown that the HAP1 protein binds in vitro to the upstream activation site (UAS) of the yeast CYC7 gene, and strikingly, this sequence bears no obvious similarity to the sequence bound by H AP1 at UAS1 of the CYC1 gene.

The yeast transcriptional activator HAP1 contains a DNA-binding domain homologous to the zinc finger of GAL4 and an adjacent regulatory domain that blocks DNA binding in the absence of the inducer heme, which suggests that the regulatory domain acts by preventing dimerization of H AP1 in the presence of heme.
