Fungal mating-type loci
Fungi form one of the most ubiquitous and successful kingdoms of life on Earth. There are more than 100,000 known species of fungi, divided into four phyla — ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, zygomycetes and chytrids — and these have populated a vast array of biological niches, including those that are pathogens of animals (including humans and insects), plants and even other microorganisms. The mor...
متن کاملSilent Mating-Type Loci in Fission Yeast
In Schizosaccharomyces Pombe the mating-type information is stored at two transcriptionally silent loci (mat2 and mat3). The region between these sites ( K region) is inert for meiotic crossing over. The mating-type genes (M or P) are expressed only when present at a third, active locus (matl). We have earlier shown that the positional regulation of P genes is based on repression at the silent ...
متن کاملThe mating type-like loci of Candida glabrata.
Candida glabrata, a haploid and opportunistic fungal pathogen that has not known sexual cycle, has conserved the majority of the genes required for mating and cell type identity. The C. glabrata genome contains three mating-type-like loci called MTL1, MTL2 and MTL3. The three loci encode putative transcription factors, a1, α1 and α2 that regulate cell type identity and sexual reproduction in ot...
متن کاملStructures of the mating-type loci of Cordyceps takaomontana.
Nucleotide sequences of the mating-type loci MAT1-1 and MAT1-2 of Cordyceps takaomontana were determined, which is the first such report for the clavicipitaceous fungi. MAT1-1 contains two mating-type genes, MAT1-1-1 and MAT1-1-2, but MAT1-1-3 could not be found. On the other hand, MAT1-2 has MAT1-2-1. A pseudogene of MAT1-1-1 is located next to MAT1-2.
متن کاملLinkage of mating-type loci distinguishes bipolar from tetrapolar mating in basidiomycetous smut fungi.
Sexual compatibility requires self vs. non-self recognition. Genetically, two compatibility or mating-type systems govern recognition in heterothallic basidiomycete fungi such as the edible and woodrotting mushrooms and the economically important rust and smut phytopathogens. A bipolar system is defined by a single genetic locus (MAT) that can have two or multiple alleles. A tetrapolar system h...
