Abstract

We analyzed the effects of the location and number of stress response elements (STREs) on gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Genes containing STRE between 51 and 300 bp upstream from translational start codon tended to be up-regulated and genes with multiple STREs exhibited higher up-regulation under stress conditions.
