High impact information on HMRA2

  • It has been suggested that STA1 is regulated by MATa2 (I. Yamashita, Y. Takano, and S. Fukui, J. Bacteriol. 164:769-773, 1985), which is a MAT transcript of previously unknown function [1].
  • Therefore, MAT switches occur in MAT alpha/mata-2 HO/ho cells to produce MAT alpha/Mata cells capable of sporulation [2].
  • The MAT alpha/mata-2 diploids do not sporulate [2].
  • MATA2 contains a HMG box with homology to other mating-type genes [3].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of HMRA2

  • Northern blot analysis revealed that the MATa2-mediated repression occurs at the posttranscriptional level [4].
