Mating Type Specific Gene • MATa gene expression • a1 mRNA from MATa locus • Other a-specific gene expression is default • Driven by MCM1 homodimer • MAT gene expression • 1, 2 mRNA from MAT • 1 and 2 function • Repress a-specific genes • 2/MCM1 heterodimer • Stimulate -specific genes • 1/MCM1 heterodimer
MatAlpha2 Interaction with Tup1/Ssn6 is Essential for Haploid/a-specific Gene Repression
Tup1/Ssn6 Complex is Global Transcription Suppressor Associated with HDACs

Ash1p Represses Mating Type Switch in Daughter Cell by Inhibiting HO Expression
Ash1p and Swi/Snf Show Reciprocal Effects on Mating Type Switch
Ash1p Localization Dependence: Genetic Screen Screen for mother cells who do NOT express HO (promoter is inhibited) as a consequence of any genetic defect
