The a mating type locus of U. maydis specifies cell signaling components.

Cell - 7 Feb 1992

Bölker M, Urban M, Kahmann R

Abstract excerpt

The a mating type locus of the phytopathogenic fungus U. maydis controls fusion of haploid cells and filamentous growth of the dikaryotic mycelium. The a locus exists in two alleles, termed a1 and a2, which are defined by nonhomologous DNA regions comprising 4.5 kb for a1 and 8 kb for a2, flanked by identical sequences. Based on functional assays, mutants, and sequencing, we demonstrate that the mating type in...
