We demonstrate that a diffusible factor is secreted byh−cells of the fission yeastSchizosaccharomyces pombe, whose mating pheromones have not been described. This factor, tentatively named theh−‐factor, affectsh+S.pombecells and induces their elongation under nitrogen‐depleted conditions. Circumstantial evidence suggests its physiological significance in the mating process. Despite their sterility,h−ras1−cells secrete this factor. However,h+ras1−cells have apparently lost the ability to respond to it. This may suggest that the gene product ofS. pombe ras1, a homologue of mammalianrasoncogenes, is involved in the mechanism for responding to mating pheromones.
