 Upstream activator sequence (UAS): In a general sense, a UAS is a cis-acting regulatory element, usually located significantly upstream of the promoter and TATA box, to which transactivators bind to activate transcription of nearby genes.
-Although the term "UAS" can in principle be used to describe any cis-acting upstream sequence that activates transcription, in practice the term enhancer is used more often to describe these sequences in a general sense. UAS tends to be used to specifically describe the enhancer of the yeast $GAL!$ gene.
