Abstract excerpt
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe sxa1 and sxa2 mutants showed an exaggerated response to mating pheromones, producing excessively long conjugation tubes and exhibiting mating deficiency. This phenotype was similar to phenotypes of cells bearing an activated allele of ras1, such as ras1Val-17 or ras1Leu-66, and phenotypes of cells defective in gap1. However, genetic evidence suggested that the sxa1 and sxa2 gene...
