Abstract excerpt
Mutants which carry a leaky UGA nonsense mutation in the fertility gene ste10 are characterized by a deformed cell morphology which resembles that described in the literature for sterile ras1- (ste5) and ral1 to ral4 mutant cells. Although frequent conjugation attempts are observed in combinations of two ste10 mutant strains of opposite heterothallic mating type, zygotes and asci are formed only rarely and the...
