A hormone-like substance is secreted by alpha mating-type cells of heterothallic yeast strains. It induces in cells of the opposite mating type, a, a morphological change characteristic of the mating process. Secretion of this substance and mating ability have some common genetic determinants. In partially purified preparations, the substance has properties of an oligopeptide.
异宗配合酵母菌株的α交配型细胞分泌一种类似激素的物质。它在相反交配型的细胞(a型细胞)中诱导出交配过程特有的形态变化。这种物质的分泌和交配能力有一些共同的遗传决定因素。在部分纯化的制剂中,该物质具有寡肽的特性。
