The machinery that mediates membrane fusion during yeast mating has remained elusive. But now a post-genomics approach has provided a powerful wedge into this difficult problem: a pheromone-induced multimembrane spanning protein has been identified as a key part of the mating machine.
在酵母交配过程中介导膜融合的机制一直难以捉摸。但现在一种后基因组学方法为解决这个难题提供了有力的切入点:一种信息素诱导的多跨膜蛋白已被确定为交配机制的关键部分。
