Dissecting the homeodomain <i>MAT</i> locus and engineering novel tripolar and bipolar mating systems in <i>Cryptococcus amylolentus</i>

2025-11-15

Abstract excerpt

Sex in fungi is governed by the mating-type ( MAT ) locus, which exists as bipolar, pseudobipolar, or tetrapolar systems. The significance and impact of MAT on sexual reproduction, however, remain understudied. Furthermore, the evolution of fungal MAT loci shares features with the evolution of sex chromosomes in plants and animals. Pathogenic Cryptococcus species harbor a bipolar system with a large contiguous...
