a-Factor Mating Pheromone
Zymo Research Corporationa-factor is one of the two mating pheromones in baking yeast. It is the “opposite” sex of mating pheromone a-Factor (alpha-factor). When yeast a and a cells encounter the opposite mating pheromones, they induce genes necessary for mating, arrest the cell cycle in G1, altering cell surface and…

5-Fluoroorotic Acid
Zymo Research CorporationUsing 5-Fluoroorotic Acid (5-FOA) for the counter-selection of yeast is a common genetic screening method. Curing yeast strains of plasmids, plasmid shuffling, allelic replacement, and two-hybrid screens are methods that can employ the use of 5-FOA. Otherwise nontoxic to yeast, 5-FOA is converted…

Alpha-Factor Mating Pheromone
Zymo Research CorporationWhen yeast "a" and "alpha" cells encounter mating pheromones of the opposite cell type they induce genes necessary for mating, arrest the cell cycle in G1, alter cell surface and nuclear determinants, and also undergo dramatic morphological elongation into pear shapes,…
