Abstract excerpt
The 293-amino acid mt A-1 ORF of the A mating-type idiomorph of Neurospora crassa is multifunctional. It confers A mating identity and is responsible for heterokaryon incompatibility. The goal of this study was to dissect the functional regions of mt A-1. New mutants of mt A-1 selected for loss of the incompatibility function were obtained. One new mutant, A(m)99, was partially fertile as a maternal parent. This...
