The apex of the mating projection in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone; site of polarized growth. The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a mating projection, the projection formed by unicellular fungi in response to mating pheromone. The region where the mating projection meets the bulk of the cell, in unicellular fungi exposed to mating pheromone. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. A septin ring, i.e. a ring-shaped structure composed of septins and septin-associated proteins, located at the neck of a shmoo (mating projection). The septin ring in the neck of a shmoo may act as a barrier to localize mating factors in the shmoo tip. A septin band, i.e. a diffuse ring composed of a series of septin bars running parallel to the long axis of the cell, located at the neck of a shmoo (mating projection). A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. The projection formed by unicellular fungi in response to mating pheromone.
