Comparative genomics of the mating-type loci of the mushroom Flammulina velutipes reveals widespread synteny and recent inversions. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Mating-type loci of mushroom fungi contain master regulatory genes that control recognition between compatible nuclei, maintenance of compatible nuclei as heterokaryons, and fruiting body development.

Rapid and Efficient CRISPR/Cas9-Based Mating-Type Switching of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Rapid and highly efficient mating-type switching of Saccharomyces cerevisiae enables a wide variety of genetic manipulations, such as the construction of strains, for instance, isogenic haploid pairs of both mating-types, diploids and polyploids. We used

Multiple convergent supergene evolution events in mating-type chromosomes [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2018
International audienceConvergent adaptation provides unique insights into the predictability of evolution and ultimately into processes of biological diversification. Supergenes (beneficial gene linkage) are striking examples of adaptation, but little is

Stepwise recombination suppression around the mating-type locus in an ascomycete fungus with self-fertile spores. [PDF]

PLoS Genetics, 2023
Recombination is often suppressed at sex-determining loci in plants and animals, and at self-incompatibility or mating-type loci in plants and fungi. In fungal ascomycetes, recombination suppression around the mating-type locus is associated with pseudo ...

Nonsex genes in the mating type locus of Candida albicans play roles in a/α biofilm formation, including impermeability and fluconazole resistance.

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.

The evolution of mating type switching [PDF]

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution, 2016
Predictions about the evolution of sex determination mechanisms have mainly focused on animals and plants, whereas unicellular eukaryotes such as fungi and ciliates have received little attention.

Artificial Mating-Type Conversion and Repetitive Mating for Polyploid Generation

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2018
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is one of the best-understood biological systems and can produce numerous useful compounds. Sexual hybridization (mating) can drive dramatic evolution of yeasts by the inheritance of half of the parental genomic ...

Identification and Characterization of the Gene Responsible for the O³ Mating Type Substance in Paramecium caudatum [PDF]

Microorganisms
The process of sexual reproduction in eukaryotes starts when gametes from two different sexes encounter each other. Paramecium, a unicellular eukaryote, undergoes conjugation and uses a gametic nucleus to enter the sexual reproductive process.

The Conformation of Yeast Chromosome III Is Mating Type Dependent and Controlled by the Recombination Enhancer

Cell Reports, 2015
Mating-type switching in yeast occurs through gene conversion between the MAT locus and one of two silent loci (HML or HMR) on opposite ends of the chromosome. MATa cells choose HML as template, whereas MATα cells use HMR. The recombination enhancer (RE)

Evolution of sexes from an ancestral mating-type specification pathway.

PLoS Biology, 2014
Male and female sexes have evolved repeatedly in eukaryotes but the origins of dimorphic sexes and their relationship to mating types in unicellular species are not understood.
