TLDR
Two distinct promoter elements, the upstream repression sequence (URS1) and the InO1 upstream activation sequence (UASINO) both were found to be involved in enabling SIN3 to repress INO1 expression.
Abstract
The SIN3 global regulatory factor affects expression of many yeast genes, including the phospholipid biosynthetic gene, INO1. Mutations in the SIN3 gene result in elevated levels of INO1 expression under conditions that normally confer full repression of INO1 transcription, indicating that SIN3 is a negative regulator of INO1. In this study, the INO1 promoter was analyzed for sequences that play a role in responding to SIN3-mediated repression. Two distinct promoter elements, the upstream repression sequence (URS1) and the INO1 upstream activation sequence (UASINO) both were found to be involved in enabling SIN3 to repress INO1 expression.

Repression by Ume6 Involves Recruitment of a Complex Containing Sin3 Corepressor and Rpd3 Histone Deacetylase to Target Promoters

TL;DR: It is shown that Sin3 and Rpd3 are specifically required for transcriptional repression by Ume6, a DNA-binding protein that regulates genes involved in meiosis.

Transcriptional repression by UME6 involves deacetylation of lysine 5 of histone H4 by RPD3.

TL;DR: The mechanism by which RPD3 represses gene activity is studied by examining the acetylation state of histone proteins at UME6-regulated genes by using antibodies specific for individual acetylated sites in H4 to immunoprecipitate chromatin fragments.
