map3 — Schizosaccharomyces pombe 972h-

Summary

SPAC3F10.10C (map3) on chromosome 1 of Schizosaccharomyces pombe encodes a GPCR_STE3 family protein with mating-type A-factor, alpha-factor, and factor pheromone receptor activity. It is associated with the pheromone response MAPK cascade, GPCR signaling, mating, sexual reproduction, sporulation, meiosis, positive regulation of the meiotic cell cycle, cell polarization, protein phosphorylation, vacuolar protein sorting, mitosis, secretion, methylation, chromatin modeling, and endocytosis. The product localizes to the plasma membrane, cell tip, plasmalemma, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to additional functions, but these associations are not established for map3 itself.
