A sex pheromone, PR-IP Inducer, which is released from mating-type minus cells ofClosterium, was purified by monitoring its biological effect on the induction of the release of protoplast-release-inducing protein (PR-IP) from mating-type plus cells. The purified PR-IP Inducer had an apparent molecular mass of 22 kDa and of 18.7 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and mass-spectrometric analysis, respectively. Staining with periodic acid-Schiff reagent indicated that PR-IP Inducer included a glycan chain. From the analysis of a dose-response curve, it seemed that PR-IP Inducer was able to exert its activity over quite wide range of concentrations (1 × 10−10−3 × 10−7M). It appears that PR-IP Inducer is a novel glycoproteinaceous pheromone, as is PR-IP, and that it exerts its effect at the earliest stages of the sexual reproduction of theClosterium peracerosum-strigosum-littoralecomplex.
