Alternative start sites in Cryptococcus
Alternative transcription start site (altTSS) usage is one of the major means of gene regulation in animals but is unknown in non-yeast fungi. Thi Tuong Vi Dang, Guilhem Janbon and co-workers reveal widespread altTSS in Cryptococcus that alters gene expression and protein targeting, regulated by a single transcription factor, Tur1, in response to environmental cues.
