Abstract excerpt
In haploid Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells, mating pheromones activate a signal transduction pathway that leads to cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase and to transcription induction of genes that promote conjugation. To identify genes that link the signal transduction pathway and the cell cycle machinery, we developed a selection strategy to isolate yeast mutants specifically defective for G1 arrest. Several of...
