Intro / Background

Test [Janiak2005].

Design

Concept

Receptors

Signals

MF(ALPHA)1 gene codes for four mature alpha-factors within a putative precursor of 165 amino acids. This sequence begins with a signal tag for secretion and a segment with three glycosylation sites (89aa). The second segment contains four mature alpha-factors, each preceded by spacer peptides, which are hypothesized to contain proteolytic processing signals[Kurjan1982].

DNA

  • Genomic PCR of WT SC-STE2 (YFL026W - http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/S000001868/overview) - ORF
  • Genomic PCR of MF(ALPHA)1 (YPL187W - http://www.yeastgenome.org/locus/mf%28alpha%291/overview) - secretion tag (first PCR), second PCR to add the actual pheromone and stop codon
