Meade and Gutz (1976) have described mat2:2 mutants of Schizosaccharomyces pombe having various defects in the Plus (P) function; four different classes were distinguished. Of special interest are the class II mutants in which none of the P mating-type functions is expressed. We made Southern analyses of 23 “class II” strains. In most of these, the P cassette and the K region are deleted as in h -s strains, however, some distinct differences were found as to the intensity of the bands in the blots (classes Ila, Ilb 1, and IIb2). The class Ilb mutants have strong bands characteristic of lethal deletions (h -L ) and mat2:1 0 plasmids. Two “class II” mutants turned out to have a typical h 90 mating-type region with an intact P cassette, but they seem to have a completely defective switching signal at matl:1 (new class V). Mutants of classes I, III, and IV yielded band patterns identical to those of an h 90 strain; they obviously have point mutations in the P cassette.
