Abstract excerpt
The cAMP pathway and the Ras pathway are the two major pathways to sexual development in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. To understand the cAMP pathway or the related pathway, we analyzed mutants that display a phenotype similar to cyr1-, that is, hyper-sporulation. Nine mutants termed sam (sporulation abnormal mutant), which are highly inclined to sexual development despite the presence of nitrogen...
