Figure 3. Conservation of the HMR-E silencer in five sensu stricto species.

Figure 3

Multiple alignment of the putative HMR-E silencer in the five sensu stricto species. There was strong conservation among all of the species of the Rap1 and Abf1 binding sites (shaded) and the spacing between them, with diverged intervening sequence from the Rap1 site to the Abf1 site. Similarly, even though the distance from the Abf1 site to HMR was identical in S. cerevisiae and S. paradoxus, DNA-level pairwise alignment of the region gave only 55% identity (Figure S1).
