Epigenetic inheritance of transcriptional silencing and switching competence in fission yeast.

Genetics - 1 Mar 1997

Thon G, Friis T

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic events allow the inheritance of phenotypic changes that are not caused by an alteration in DNA sequence. Here we characterize an epigenetic phenomenon occurring in the mating-type region of fission yeast. Cells of fission yeast switch between the P and M mating-type by interconverting their expressed mating-type cassette between two allelic forms, mat1-P and mat1-M. The switch results from gene...
