Sequence elements in the URA3 promoter are necessary and sufficient for cohesion. (A) The poly(dA:dT) tract is necessary for cohesion. Strains MSB7 (URA3f), HJ5 (orftrunc), HJ6 (tatatrunc), HJ7 (uastrunc), HJ19 (da:dttrunc), HJ4 (fulltrunc), and HJ24 (Δuf) were arrested in M phase by Cdc20 depletion. Strains HJ6388 (Δda:dt) and JSC97 (URA3r) were arrested with nocodazole. (B) DNA sequence surrounding the poly(dA:dT) element in the URA3 promoter. Underlines highlight the portions of the element that were deleted in the Δda:dt and Δuf constructs. (C) The poly(dA:dT) and UF elements generate cohesion in the lys2 context. Strains CSW91 (lys2 cassette alone), HJ22 (URA3 promoter add back), HJ23 (UF-dA:dT add back), and MSB155 (dA:dT alone add back) were arrested in M phase with nocodazole.
