Genetic recombination: Sex-change operations in yeast
Abstract
The 'directionality' of mating-type switching in budding yeast is determined by mechanisms that regulate genetic recombination along the whole left arm of chromosome III. In MATa cells, a cis-acting 'recombinational enhancer' activates this entire region, while in MAT α cells the enhancer is turned off by the α2 repressor.
