CC -!- FUNCTION: Mating type proteins are sequence specific DNA-binding CC proteins that act as master switches in yeast differentiation by CC controlling gene expression in a cell type-specific fashion. CC Transcriptional corepressor that, in a/alpha diploid cells, binds CC cooperatively with the ALPHA2 protein to a 21-bp DNA sequence termed CC the haploid-specific gene (hsg) operator, to repress transcription of CC haploid-specific genes and of MATALPHA1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8664541}. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Binds DNA with a high specificity as a heterodimer of A1 and CC ALPHA2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12121651, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7569974, CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:9838003}. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. CC -!- DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Only present in a-cells and in a/alpha diploid CC cells. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Was initially thought to be alternatively spliced. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This gene is functional with 1, 2 or no introns, but the CC functional protein is produced only when both introns are spliced from CC the mRNA. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: There are three genetic loci for mating type genes in CC S.cerevisiae. MAT is the expression locus that determines the mating CC type of the cell, whereas HML (containing HMLALPHA1 and HMLALPHA2) and CC HMR (containing HMRA1 and HMRA2) represent silenced repositories of CC mating type information. The mating type is determined by the MAT CC locus, which contains either a copy of HML or of HMR. Diploid cells are CC usually heterozygous for the MAT locus. CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MATA1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
