Role of alpha2 protein in donor locus selection during mating type interconversion.

Molecular and cellular biology - 1 Feb 1997

Szeto L, Broach J R

Abstract excerpt

The homeodomain protein alpha2p plays a role both in transcriptional repression in the process of cell type determination and in donor selection during mating interconversion. We have explored the mechanism of alpha2p-directed donor selection by examining the effects on donor preference of mutant...
