Abstract excerpt
The agalpha1 mutant MAT alpha cells specifically lack the cell surface alpha-type sexual agglutination substance, which is also called alpha-agglutinin. Because the mutant cells (MATalpha agalpha1) can not form aggregates with MATa cells, MATalpha agalpha1 cells are unable to mate with MATa cells when they are co-inoculated in a liquid medium, and the mating is attenuated on solid medium. The attenuated mating...
