Protein
Mating-type protein ALPHA2
Organism
Yarrowia lipolytica (strain CLIB 122 / E 150)
Function
Mating type proteins are sequence specific DNA-binding proteins that act as master switches in yeast differentiation by controlling gene expression in a cell type-specific fashion. Transcriptional corepressor that acts in conjunction with A1 to repress transcription of haploid-specific genes (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the TALE/M-ATYP homeobox family.
