Experimental Evolution of Mating Discrimination in Budding Yeast
Assortative mating, when individuals of similar phenotypes mate, likely plays a key role in preventing gene flow during speciation. Reinforcement occurs when two previously geographically separated (allopatric) groups meet after having evolved partial postzygotic isolation; they are selected to evolve or enhance assortative mating to prevent costly intergroup matings that produce only maladapti...
متن کاملMicrotubule dynamics in the budding yeast mating pathway.
In order for haploid gametes to fuse during fertilization, microtubules (MTs) must generate forces that are sufficient to move the nuclei together. Nuclear movements during fertilization rely on microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs), many of which have been characterized extensively during mitosis. A useful model system to study MT-dependent forces before nuclear fusion, or karyogamy, is the m...
متن کاملGenetically engineered transvestites reveal novel mating genes in budding yeast.
Haploid budding yeast has two mating types, defined by the alleles of the MAT locus, MATa and MATα. Two haploid cells of opposite mating types mate by signaling to each other using reciprocal pheromones and receptors, polarizing and growing toward each other, and eventually fusing to form a single diploid cell. The pheromones and receptors are necessary and sufficient to define a mating type, b...
متن کاملAsymmetric nucleosomes flank promoters in the budding yeast genome.
Nucleosomes in active chromatin are dynamic, but whether they have distinct structural conformations is unknown. To identify nucleosomes with alternative structures genome-wide, we used H4S47C-anchored cleavage mapping, which revealed that 5% of budding yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) nucleosome positions have asymmetric histone-DNA interactions. These asymmetric interactions are enriched at n...
متن کاملColon Cryptogenesis: Asymmetric Budding
The process of crypt formation and the roles of Wnt and cell-cell adhesion signaling in cryptogenesis are not well described; but are important to the understanding of both normal and cancer colon crypt biology. A quantitative 3D-microscopy and image analysis technique is used to study the frequency, morphology and molecular topography associated with crypt formation. Measurements along the col...
