The 5′ regions of the SGA and ST A 2 genes, encoding the intra‐ and extracellular glucoamylases, respectively, from Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been sequenced. In addition, the transcription initiation sites have been determined. Four distinct short elements (named I to IV) were found in both genes. Element III has the consensus sequence PuCATTTAPiG with a bilateral symmetry around the central T, and is present in both genes as a direct repeat. This motive seems responsible for the coregulation of ST A 2 and SGA by the repressor ST A 10 gene of S. cerevisiae .
