Abstract excerpt

Mating pheromones, known as a and alpha-factors, arrest the division of cells of opposite mating types, alpha and a respectively, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. I have cloned the DAC2 gene, which is required for both pheromone-induced division-arrest and cell-fusion during conjugation. The construc...
