Genetic evidence is presented for the presence of 2 silent cassettes mat2-P and mat3-M, which both map to the right of the expressible site mat1 of the mating-type region in S. pombe. During a switch of mating type, the resident cassette at mat1 is replaced by a copy of opposite mating-type information from 1 of the silent loci. Usually the switch becomes effective in 1 of 2 daughter cells, thus allowing for efficient sister-cell conjugation. In swi mutants, mating-type switching can be observed as early as for the 1st division after spore germination, albeit at a lower frequency. Genetically the 2 silent cassettes are linked so tightly that no crossovers were observed between mat2 and mat3 at a resolution of 10-3 cM [centimorgan].
