Fig. 2. Schematic diagram showing mechanism of TI at the IME4 locus in yeast. The IME4 locus is transcribed by a sense and an antisense transcript in haploid cells of the a or
mating type because the MATa-
repressor that represses the antisense transcript is not present. As a result, IME4 protein is not produced. In diploid MATa/
cells, MATa-
represses transcription of the IME4 antisense transcript. This allows production of IME4 and the initiation of meiosis.
