Mating-Type Locus Organization and Mating-Type Chromosome Differentiation in the Bipolar Edible Button Mushroom <i>Agaricus bisporus</i>. [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2021 In heterothallic basidiomycete fungi, sexual compatibility is restricted by mating types, typically controlled by two loci: PR, encoding pheromone precursors and pheromone receptors, and HD, encoding two types of homeodomain transcription factors. We analysed the single mating-type locus of the commercial button mushroom variety, Agaricus bisporus var.

Pneumocystis Mating-Type Locus and Sexual Cycle during Infection. [PDF]
Microbiol Mol Biol Rev, 2021 Pneumocystis species colonize mammalian lungs and cause deadly pneumonia if the immune system of the host weakens. Each species presents a specificity for a single mammalian host species. Pneumocystis jirovecii infects humans and provokes pneumonia, which is among the most frequent invasive fungal ...

한국균학회지, 2021 Lentinula edodes is a tetrapolar basidiomycete and its mating type is determined by two unlinked genetic loci, A and B. Theoretically, one dikaryotic strain could produce basidiospores with four different mating types in a 1:1:1:1 ratio. Previous studies

DNA loss at the Ceratocystis fimbriata mating locus results in self-sterility. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Fungi have evolved a remarkable diversity of reproductive strategies. Some of these, most notably those of the model fungi, have been well studied but others are poorly understood.

Maintaining two mating types: structure of the mating type locus and its role in heterokaryosis in Podospora anserina. [PDF]
Genetics, 2014 AbstractPseudo-homothallism is a reproductive strategy elected by some fungi producing heterokaryotic sexual spores containing genetically different but sexually compatible nuclei. This lifestyle appears as a compromise between true homothallism (self-fertility with predominant inbreeding) and complete heterothallism (with exclusive outcrossing ...

Molecular signature of the imprintosome complex at the mating-type locus in fission yeast. [PDF]
Microb Cell, 2018 Genetic and molecular studies have indicated that an epigenetic imprint at mat1, the sexual locus of fission yeast, initiates mating type switching. The polar DNA replication of mat1 generates an imprint on the Watson strand. The process by which the imprint is formed and maintained through the cell cycle remains unclear.

PLoS Pathogens, 2012 The mating type locus (MTL) of Candida albicans contains the mating type genes and has, therefore, been assumed to play an exclusive role in the mating process.

한국균학회지, 2020 Lentinula edodes is one of the most widely consumed edible mushrooms in Korea. Mating in L. edodes is regulated by a tetrapolar system, and two unlinked genetic loci, A and B, are known to be major determinants of the mating types, as reported in other ...

GENE CONVERSION OF THE MATING-TYPE LOCUS IN SACCHAROMYCES CEREVISIAE [PDF]
Genetics, 1979 ABSTRACT Tetrad analysis of MAT a/MATα diploids of Saccharomyces cerevisiae generally yields 2 MATa:2MATα meiotic products. About 1 to 1.8% of the tetrads yield aberrant segregations for this marker. Described here are experiments that determine whether the aberrant meiotic segregations at the mating-type locus are ascribable to gene ...

Discovery of a modified tetrapolar sexual cycle in Cryptococcus amylolentus and the evolution of MAT in the Cryptococcus species complex. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2012 Sexual reproduction in fungi is governed by a specialized genomic region called the mating-type locus (MAT). The human fungal pathogenic and basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans has evolved a bipolar mating system (a, α) in which the MAT locus ...
