The fission yeast homologue of CENP-B, Abp1, regulates directionality of mating-type switching.

The EMBO journal - 9 Apr 2008

Aguilar-Arnal Lorena, Marsellach Francesc-Xavier, Azorín Fernando

Abstract excerpt

In fission yeast, mating-type switching involves replacing genetic information contained at the expressed mat1 locus by that of either the mat2P or mat3M donor loci. Donor selection is nonrandom, as mat1P cells preferentially use mat3M for switching, whereas mat1M cells use mat2P. Switching directionality is determined by the cell-type-specific distribution of the Swi2-Swi5 complex that, in mat1P cells, localises...
