Abstract

The multiallelic mating type locus Bal of Schizophyllum commune encodes a pheromone receptor and putative pheromone genes. A comparison of two alleles encoding receptors that share the same specificity Bα1 was performed using strains of different geographic origin. The amino acid sequence alignment revealed strong conservation of the largest part of the receptor. Only in the distal C-terminus major amino acid was divergence encountered. This C-terminal region of 117 of the total of 639 amino acids was shown to be unnecessary for function in vivo by transformation experiments.
