FIG 1.

Genomic representation of mating type (MAT) locus of S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis. (A) Genomic analysis indicated that S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis harbor the MAT1-1 (MAT1-1-1, MAT1-1-2, MAT1-1-3, and MAT1-2 (MAT1-2-1) locus, as well its corresponding domains: α1, α-box domain; PPF, proline-proline-phenylalanine domain; HMG, high mobility group domain. A truncated MAT1-1-1 was detected in the S. brasiliensis genome (MAT 1-1-1#) showing the lack of the α1 domain. The protein product size and conserved domains as well intron distribution along the genes are shown. (B) Genomic alignment of a 20-kb MAT-containing scaffold between S. schenckii and S. brasiliensis showing the nonhomologous region corresponding to the MAT locus.
