Essential genes encoded by the mating-type locus of the human fungal pathogen <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2024-12-05

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Fungal sexual reproduction is controlled by the mating-type ( MAT ) locus. In contrast to a majority of species in the phylum Basidiomycota that have tetrapolar mating-type systems, the opportunistic human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans employs a bipolar mating-type system, with two mating types ( a and α) determined by a single MAT locus that is unusually large (∼120 kb) and contains more...
