Identification of the sex genes in an early diverged fungus.

Nature - 10 Jan 2008

Idnurm Alexander, Walton Felicia J, Floyd Anna, Heitman Joseph

Abstract excerpt

Sex determination in fungi is controlled by a small, specialized region of the genome in contrast to the large sex-specific chromosomes of animals and some plants. Different gene combinations reside at these mating-type (MAT) loci and confer sexual identity; invariably they encode homeodomain, alpha-box, or high mobility group (HMG)-domain transcription factors. So far, MAT loci have been characterized from a...
