Certain genetic instabilities of the "mating type locus" in the yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe are interpreted in terms of transposition: Homothallic strains are characterized by two adjacent mating type genes (mat1-mat2+) with sexually complementary functions. One of these genes (mat2+) is able to

โฆ Synopsis
Genetic mechanisms of switching the mating type locus MAT1 in the homothallic yeast Pichia pinus were studied. By analysis of mutations affecting MAT1 complex structural and functional organization of this locus was shown. The existence of two functional regions in MAT1 is postulated. Region I controls mating ability of haploid cells, determines the neutrality of heterozygous cells and regulates the work of Region II. Region II controls meiosis and/or sporulation in the cultures heterozygous for Region I as well as controls switching MAT1 โ MAT1ฮฑ in haploid cells.
