Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the cyr1 gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which encodes adenylyl cyclase, did not confer lethality to fission yeast cells, although they grew 40% slower than wild-type strains in complete medium. These cells contained no measurable amount of cAMP and no adenylyl cyclase activity. When h+ and h- cyr1 disruptants were mixed, they underwent mating even in rich medium. Propagation of homothallic cyr1...
