Transposable mating type genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

J Hicks, J N Strathern, A J Klar

    Nature
    |November 29, 1979

    Summary

    Researchers cloned the alpha mating type gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This confirmed that mating type switching occurs through DNA rearrangement, supporting the

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Yeast Biology

    Background:

    • Saccharomyces cerevisiae utilizes mating type genes for sexual reproduction.
    • Understanding mating type interconversion is crucial for yeast genetics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To clone a functional alpha mating type gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
    • To investigate the genetic mechanisms underlying mating type interconversion.

    Main Methods:

    • Gene cloning via yeast transformation.
    • Southern Blotting to analyze DNA sequences.
    • Restriction fragment analysis to differentiate genetic loci.

    Main Results:

    • A functional alpha mating type gene was successfully cloned.
    • Homologous sequences were identified at the HML, HMR, and MAT loci.
    • Characteristic restriction fragment sizes correlated with specific mating type alleles.
    • Demonstrated DNA rearrangement during homothallic mating type interconversion.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides molecular evidence for the 'cassette hypothesis'.
    • Mating type switching in Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves DNA rearrangement.
    • The cloned gene and identified loci are key to understanding yeast mating.
