In S. cerevisiae, the HTZ-1 variant commonly substitutes the H2A histone in heterochromatin regions. HTZ-1 is known to bind to the basal promoter region (TATA box) of the gene. Our study is looking at the possible association of HTZ-1 with an artificially placed telomeric gene, ADE2, within the S. cerevisiae mutant UCC1371. We were able to gain insight on this plausible interaction between the two by utilizing chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and qPCR technology. From our qPCR results we can speculate that HTZ-1 may be located at the ADE2 gene.
