Protein
Mating-type M-specific polypeptide Mi
Organism
Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843)
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. Required for meiosis, but plays no role in conjugation.
