The yeast mating-type switching endonuclease HO is a domesticated member of an unorthodox homing genetic element family.

Ash1 and Tup1 dependent repression of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO promoter requires activator-dependent nucleosome eviction.
Title: Ash1 and Tup1 dependent repression of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HO promoter requires activator-dependent nucleosome eviction.
Data show that mutation of the Rts1 regulatory subunit of PP2A phosphatase (PP2ARts1 phosphatase) results in decreased HO endonuclease expression due to altered localization of the Ace2 transcription factor.
Title: The Rts1 regulatory subunit of PP2A phosphatase controls expression of the HO endonuclease via localization of the Ace2 transcription factor.
Swi4/Swi6 (SBF) factor binding at HO follows a temporal cascade, with SBF bound at upstream regulatory sequence (URS2-L) serving to relay a signal from URS1 to the SBF sites in URS2-R that ultimately activate gene expression.

Data show that coactivators bind first to far upstream promoter regions of HO and subsequently to a promoter proximal region, and FACT and Asf1 are both required for this coactivator re-recruitment.
