The establishment of the sex of an organism by physical differentiation.

positive regulation of actin filament polymerization

positive regulation of actin polymerization

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of actin polymerization.

Catalysis of the reaction: allantoin + H2O = allantoate.

Compensating for the two-fold variation in X:autosome chromosome ratios between sexes by a global activation or inactivation of all, or most of, genes on one or both of the X chromosomes.

Catalysis of the reaction: urea-1-carboxylate + H2O = 2 CO2 + 2 NH3.

Any process that establishes and transmits the specification of sexual status of an individual organism.

Any process that establishes and transmits the specification of mating type upon an individual. Mating types are the equivalent in microorganisms of the sexes in higher organisms.

regulation of transcription, mating-type specific

Any mating-type specific process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of transcription.

The conversion of a single-cell organism from one mating type to another by the precise replacement of a DNA sequence at the expressed mating type locus with a copy of a sequence from a donor locus.

The conversion of the mating-type locus from one allele to another resulting from the recombinational repair of a site-specific double-strand break at the mating-type locus with information from a silent donor sequence. There is no reciprocal exchange of information because the mating-type locus copies information from the donor sequence and the donor sequence remains unchanged.

Catalysis of the reaction: ATP + 6-deoxy-L-galactose = ADP + 6-deoxy-L-galactose 1-phosphate.

The process by which a cell uses one locus in preference to another as the donor in mating type switching.

The transmission of information about sexual status from the initial, general, determination to signals specific to the soma.

mismatch base pair DNA N-glycosylase activity

Catalysis of the removal of single bases present in mismatches by the cleavage the N-C1' glycosidic bond between the target damaged DNA base and the deoxyribose sugar. The reaction releases a free base and leaves an apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site.
