Expression of MFA1 and STE6 is sufficient for mating type-independent secretion of yeast a-factor, but not mating competence.

Current genetics - 1 Feb 1999

Quinby G E, Dean J P, Deschenes R J

Abstract excerpt

The yeast a-factor mating peptide and its transporter Ste6 are normally expressed only in MATa haploid cells. The a-factor is initially produced as a 36- or 38-residue peptide precursor and must undergo extensive post-translational processing to produce an active 12 amino-acid lipopeptide. To better understand the steps required for Ste6-dependent a-factor transport, we have reconstituted a-factor synthesis and...
