Polarization of yeast cells in spatial gradients of alpha mating factor.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 15 Sept 1993

Segall J E

Abstract excerpt

The process of cell fusion during mating of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mediated by factors secreted by the mating partners. Spatial gradients of one of these mating factors, alpha-factor, polarized the growth of projections by MATa cells. The site of previous budding did not affect the direction of polarization, and subsequent budding was also polarized if mating factor was removed. Orientation...
