To obtain NAD-dependent malic enzyme mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe, a colony color indicator screening system was developed. Mutants defective for malic acid utilization (mau mutants) are yellow, while wild-type colonies are blue on the defined bromcresol green based indicator medium. NAD-dependent malic enzyme mutants were distinguished from other mau mutants by subsequent, starch gel electrophoresis, spectrophotometry, complementation tests, and intermediate pool analysis with cell-free extracts.

We previously identified two genes, mfm1 and mfm2, with the potential to encode the M-factor mating pheromone of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe (J. Davey, EMBO J. 11:951-960, 1992), but further analysis revealed that a mutant strain lacking both genes still produced active M-factor. Here we describe the isolation and characterization of a third M-factor gene, mfm3. A mutant lacking all three genes fails to produce M-factor, indicating that all functional M-factor genes now have been identified. The triple mutant exhibits an absolute mating defect in M cells, a defect that is not rescued by addition of exogenous M-factor. A mutational analysis reveals that all three mfm genes contribute to the production of M-factor. Their transcription is limited to M cells and requires the mat1-Mc and ste11 gene products. Each gene is induced when the cells are starved of nitrogen and further induced by a pheromone signal. Additionally, the signal transduction machinery associated with the pheromone response is required for transcription of the mfm genes in both stimulated and unstimulated cells.
