| an inducible acetate transport system in neurospora crassa conidia. | neurospora crassa conidia possess an active transport system for the uptake of acetate. this system was characterized as: (a) energy dependent; (b) taking place against a concentration gradient; (c) saturating at higher substrate concentrations and (d) competitively inhibited by propionate. activity of the acetate transport system can be further enhanced by preincubating conidia in 1 mm acetate medium for 180 min (the inducible transport system). the conidial system and the inducible system have ... | 1977 | 144526 |
| nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of neurospora. v. tryptic peptides. | the isolation and sequences of an additional 80 peptides from a tryptic digest of the nad-specific glutamate dehydrogenase of neurospora crassa are reported. these include an additional peptide containing a lysine residue labeled at the epsilon-amino group with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. the sequence of this peptide shows some homology with the reactive lysine residue of other glutamate dehydrogenases. | 1977 | 144134 |
| biosynthesis of carnitine in neurospora crassa. | in growing cultures of neurospora crassa lysine auxotroph 33933, (a) beta-hydroxy-epsilon-n-trimethyllysine and gamma-n-trimethylaminobutyraldehyde, postulated precursors of carnitine in the rat, effectively blocked synthesis of labeles carnitine from epsilon-n-[ch3-3h]trimethyllysine; and (b) beta-hydroxy-epsilon-n[ch3-3h[trimethyllysine and gamma-n-[ch3-3h]trimethylaminobutyraldehyde were effectively utilized for carnitine formation. from these isotopic experiments, the latter steps of carniti ... | 1977 | 144128 |
| unstable s-adenosylmethionine synthetase in an ethionine-resistant strain of neurospora crassa. | a pleitropic ethionine-resistant mutant of neurospora contains an s-adenosylmethionine synthetase that is labile to heat and dialysis but exhibits normal kinetics for methionine and ethionine. | 1977 | 144115 |
| adaptive changes in phosphate uptake by the fungus neurospora crassa in response to phosphate supply. | the phosphate uptake rate of neurospora crassa germlings growing exponentially in media containing phosphate at concentrations between 10 mm and 50 micronm was virtually constant. the uptake characteristics of these germlings were studied in detail assuming the simultaneous operation of two uptake systems, one of low affinity and one of high affinity. the km of the low-affinity system was constant after growth at phosphate concentrations greater than 1 mm but became progressively lower as the co ... | 1977 | 144114 |
| kinetic characterization of the two phosphate uptake systems in the fungus neurospora crassa. | the kinetics of phosphate uptake by exponentially growing neurospora crassa were studied to determine the nature of the differences in uptake activity associated with growth at different external phosphate concentrations. conidia, grown in liquid medium containing either 10 mm or 50 micronm phosphate, were harvested, and their phosphate uptake ability was measured. initial experiments, where uptake was examined over a narrow concentration range near that of the growth medium, indicated the prese ... | 1977 | 144113 |

| role of lipids in the neurospora crassa membrane. ii. membrane potential and resistance studies; the effect of altered fatty acid composition on the electrical properties of the cell membrane. | the effect of doubling the saturated fatty acid content on the electrophysiology of neurospora crassa membranes was studied. intracellular membrane input resistance (rm) and potential (em) were measured for wild-type (w/t) and cel- (tween 40) organisms as a function of temperature. over the 0 to 40 degrees c temperature range studied, mean em values of both w/t and cel- (tw 40) organisms increased from -160 to -210 mv. this difference is greater than that expected from nernst potential considera ... | 1977 | 143534 |
| the ribosomal rna genes on neurospora crassa mitochondrial dna are adjacent. | hybridization of separated 24 s and 17 s ribosomal rna from neurospora crassa mitochondrial ribosomes to restriction fragments of mitochondrial dna leads to the conclusion that the large and small ribosomal rna are adjacent on the restriction endonuclease cleavage map of the dna. the distance between the two genes is estimated at 900 basepairs. this result is consistent with the existence of a ribosomal precursor rna in n. crassa mitochondria and is in contrast to the situation in yeast, where t ... | 1977 | 143295 |

| galactosyltransferase of neurospora. | an enzyme, galactosyltransferase, able to catalyze the formation of galactose polymers was detected in cell-free extracts of a wild type strain of neurospora crassa. enzyme activity was found in both the supernatant and the particle fractions after centrifugation at 100,000 x g. the enzyme assayed in the 100,000 x g supernatant showed a 4fold difference in specific activity as compared to that found in the particle fraction. | 1977 | 142643 |
| [histones of the fungi, endomyces magnusii and neurospora crassa]. | histones of endomyces magnusii and neurospora crassa were found to consist of four main fractions similar to calf thymus histones in their electrophoretic mobilities, molecular sizes and chromatographic behaviour on akrilex p-60. two of them are homologous to the most conservative histones h3 and h4. other two fractions correspond to the histones h2a and h2b; however, they have some pecularities. a fraction of n. crassa histones corresponding to the h2b was isolated in a homogeneous state by mea ... | 1977 | 142527 |

| effect of temperature and temperature shifts on growth and branching of a wild type and a temperature sensitive colonial mutant (cot 1) of neurospora crassa. | growth of a temperature sensitive colonial mutant (cot 1) of neurospora crassa was compared with a wild type strain. the hyphal growth unit (the ratio between mycelial length and number of branches) of the wild type was not appreciably altered by temperature and there was a direct relationship between the specific growth rate (alpha) of these mycelia and their mean hyphal extension rate (e). the specific growth rate of cot 1 increased by about the same relative amount as the wild type between 15 ... | 1977 | 142456 |
| purification of s-adenosylmethionine: epsilon-n-l-lysine methyltransferase. the first enzyme in carnitine biosynthesis. | the initial steps of carnitine biosynthesis in neurospora crassa involve the methylation of the epsilon-amino group of lysine as follows: lysine a leads to monomethyllysine b leads to dimethyllysine c leads to trimethyllysine. the methyl donor is s-adenosylmethionine. an enzyme, s-adenosylmethionine:epsilon-n-l-lysine methyltransferase, has been purified from n. crassa to near homogeneity as judged by column chromatography, polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and ultracentrifugation. this protei ... | 1977 | 142089 |
| developmental-stage-dependent adenine transport in neurospora crassa. | although germinated conidia of neurospora crassa transport adenine through two different systems, only one of these, namely, the general purine transport system, which transports adenine, hypoxanthine, guanine, and 6-methylpurine, is present in freshly harvested conidia of the wild type. the second system develops during germination. the latter system can transport adenine and 6-methylpurine. time course and kinetic studies of adenine transport in freshly harvested conidia of an ad-8 mutant indi ... | 1977 | 142082 |
| levels of the ribonucleoside triphosphates and rate of rna synthesis in neurospora crassa. | the levels of the four ribonucleoside triphosphate (atp, gtp, utp and ctp) have been determined in neurospora crassa in three conditions of exponential growth (on glucose, acetate and glycerol) as well as in the course of a shift-up and a shift-down transition of growth between two of them. although in some cases the pools appear proportional to the rate of synthesis of ribosomal rna, this seems not to be strictly dependent on the level of the nucleotides. | 2003 | 141945 |

| messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes isolated by oligodeoxythymidylate-cellulose chromatography from neurospora crassa polysomes. | messenger ribonucleoprotein (mrnp) complexes were isolated from ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid-dissociated polysomes of neurospora crassa. approximately 15% of the [3h]uridine incorporated into polysomal ribonucleic acid (rna) during a 15-min pulse was eluted from oligodeoxythymidylate-cellulose as an mrnp complex. the isolated mrnp complexes exhibited sedimentation coefficients ranging from 15s to greater than 60s. rna isolated from these mrnp complexes sedimented in sucrose gradients between ... | 1977 | 141447 |
| composition and synthesis of cellular lipids in neurospora crassa during cellular differentiation. | the synthesis of cellular lipids of neurospora crassa was measured during growth on low (2% sucrose)- and high (15% glucose)-carbohydrate supplementation. the amount of lipid per dry weight of cells does not change during the germination and early logarithmic growth periods, but the percentage of phospholipid in the lipid does increase, reaching a maximal value of 90% at 4 to 5 h after inoculation, at which time the phospholipid content of the cells is approximately 60 mumol/g (dry weight). the ... | 1977 | 141445 |

| characterization and in vitro translation of polyadenylated messenger ribonucleic acid from neurospora crassa. | ribonucleic acid (rna) extracted from neurospora crassa has been fractionated by oligodeoxythymidylic acid [oligo(dt)]-cellulose chromatography into polyadenylated messenger rna [poly(a) mrna] and unbound rna. the poly(a) mrna, which comprises approximately 1.7% of the total cellular rna, was further characterized by sepharose 4b chromatography and polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. both techniques showed that the poly(a) mrna was heterodisperse in size, with an average molecular weight similar ... | 1977 | 140861 |
| unsaturated fatty acid mutants of neurospora crassa. | unsaturated fatty acid (ufa) auxotrophs of neurospora crassa were obtained by treatment of conidia with n-methyl-n'-nitro-n-nitrosoguanidine followed by isolation on media containing polyunsaturated fatty acids suspended in tergitol np-40. the 24 mutants for which reisolates were obtained from crosses with wild type were assigned to two complementation classes, ufa-1 and ufa-2, located on linkage group v. unsaturated fatty acids with varying degrees of unsaturation, chain length, and double-bond ... | 1977 | 140860 |
| nuclear suppressors of the (poky) cytoplasmic mutant in neurospora crassa. ii. mitochondrial cytochrome systems. | the mitochondrial cytochrome aa3 and b deficiencies of the [poky] cytoplasmic mutant of neurospora crassa are partially suppressed by mutant alleles of any one of six nuclear genes, namely sup-1, sup-3, sup-4, sup-5, sup-10 and sup-14. the suppressor-induced increases in the concentration of both cytochromes are detected in the mitochondria from exponentially growing [poky] cultures, and, thus, are clearly distinguishable from the age-dependent changes in the cytochrome system that occur in cult ... | 2003 | 140757 |

| energy-linked potassium uptake by mitochondria from wild-type and poky strains of neurospora crassa. | mitochondria from neurospora crassa, like mammalian mitochondria, carry out rapid, energy-linked k+ uptake and h+ release in the presence of valinomycin. the maximal rate of k+ uptake was about 1.0 mumol/mg of mitochondrial protein per min and was seen at valinomycin concentrations in the range of 100 to 200 mug per mg of mitochondrial protein and at k+ concentrations of 4 mm or above. uptake could be supported either by substrate oxidation or by adenosine 5'-triphosphate (atp), and was inhibite ... | 1977 | 138675 |
| composition and photoinduced biosynthesis of the carotenoids of a protoplast-like neurospora crassa "slime" mutant. | a spheroplast-like "slime" mutant of neurospora crassa (lacking a rigid cell wall) was found to synthesize an identical spectrum of carotenoids as wild type strains except for beta-carotene. furthermore strict photoregulation of the biosynthesis of these pigments as well as the characteristics of photoinduced carotenogenesis were also nearly identical in the mutant and in the wild type. | 1977 | 138402 |

| lack of mutagenicity of vinyl chloride in two strains of neurospora crassa. | no detectable induction of mutations could be found in two strains of neurospora crassa after their conidia were treated with vinyl chloride, in ethanol solution and in its gaseous form. the results suggest that although n. crassa seems to lativating systems does not increase mutagenic activity of vinyl chloride in the two strains tested. at the same time these strains were mutated easily by uv and methyl methanesulfonate. | 1977 | 138087 |
| mutation induction by the antischistosomal drug f30066 in various test systems. | the genetic activity of furapromidium (f30066), an antischistosomal drug, was studied in salmonella typhimurium, saccharomyces cerevisiae, neurospora crassa and cultured chinese hamster cells. the results show that f30066 induces gene mutations in s. typhimurium, n. crassa and chinese hamster cells. this compound also causes gene conversions in s. cerevisiae. | 1977 | 138086 |
| randomness tests on the sequence of ascal segregation classes in neurospora crassa. | various statistical tests for randomness were made on the order of ascal classes in groups of asci from wild-type x asco crosses. there was no significant nonrandom clustering of asci of the same segregation class, nor a regular twinning of similar asci. any apparent observed clustering of similar ascal classes is probably an artefact or due to chance. 2 x n x2 tests showed that frequencies of individual ascus classes from different perithecia were generally homogeneous, as were second division ... | 2002 | 137884 |
| control of the production and partial characterization of repressible extracellular 5'-nucleotidase and alkaline phosphatase in neurospora crass. | a new species of orthophosphate repressible extracellular 5'-nucleotidase (5'-ribonucleotide phosphohydrolase, ec 3.1.3.5) was found to be released into mycelial culture media when a wild type strain of neurospora crassa was grown on limiting amounts of phosphate. the production of 5'-nucleotidase and extracellular acid and alkaline phosphatase was inhibited by the addition of rifampicin when it was added at the later stage of mycelial growth, but not when it was added at a very early stage. the ... | 1977 | 137748 |

| characterization of qa-2 mutants of neurospora crassa by genetic, enzymatic, and immunological techniques. | genetic and complementation mapping studies using 20 qa-2 mutants defective for catabolic dehydroquinase indicate that the qa-2 gene encodes a single polypeptide chain and is the structural gene for catabolic dehydroquinase, a 220,000-molecular-weight protein composed of identical 10,000-molecular-weight subunits. many qa-2 mutants are capable of reversion, but no evidence has yet been obtained for nonsense mutations in this gene. the biochemical consequences of the mutations in two complementin ... | 1977 | 137228 |
| regulation of phosphate metabolism in neurospora crassa: identification of the structural gene for repressible acid phosphatase. | a mutant of neurospora crassa with an altered repressible acid phosphatase has been isolated. the enzyme is much more thermolabile than that of wild type, and has an increased michaelis constant. tests of allelic interactions (in partial diploids) and in vitro mixing experiments were consistent with the mutation being in the structural gene for the enzyme. this gene, pho-3, was found to be located in the right arm of linkage group iv (lgiv). thus, pho-3 and the structural gene for repressible al ... | 2002 | 137163 |

| a reduced pyridine nucleotides-diaphorase activity associated to the assimilatory nitrite reductase complex from neurospora crassa. | the neurospora crassa assimilatory nad(p)h-nitrite reductase complex has associated a nad(p)h-diaphorase activity. 1. this nad(p)h-diaphorase activity can use either mammalian cytochrome c, 2,6--dichlorophenol-indophenol, ferricyanide, or menadione as electron acceptor from the reduced pyridine nucleotides, and requires flavin adenine dinucleotide for maximal activity. 2. it is inhibited by p-hydroxymercuribenzoate, 1 mum, and it is unaffected by cyanide, sulfite, or arsenite at concentrations w ... | 2002 | 136235 |
| regulation of hypoxanthine transport in neurospora crassa. | hypoxanthine uptake and hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase activity (ec 2.4.2.8) were determined in germinated conidia from the adenine auxotrophic strains ad-1 and ad-8 and the double mutant strain ad-1 ad-8. the mutant strain ad-1 appears to lack aminoimidazolecarboximide ribonucleotide formyltransferase (ec 2.1.2.3) or inosine 5'monophosphate cyclohydrolase (ec 3.5.1.10) activities, or both, whereas the ad-8 strain lacks adenylosuccinate synthase activity (ec 6.3.4.4). normal (or wild-typ ... | 1976 | 135758 |

| gene order in the qa gene cluster of neurospora crassa. | four different types of crosses have been used to establish the order of the four genes in the qa gene cluster of neurospora crassa, which encode the following proteins involved in the inducible catabolism of quinic acid: a regulatory (activator) protein (qa-1), catabolic dehydroquinase (qa-2), quinate dehydrogenase (qa-3), and dehydroshikimate dehydrase (qa-4). the four crosses involved (1) the ordering of the four qa genes relative to the closely-linked me-7 locus; (2) the ordering of the thre ... | 2002 | 134253 |
| wall structure of the neurospora hyphal apex: immunofluorescent localization of wall surface antigens. | antisera have been raised in rabbits against three wall fractions from neurospora crassa. fractions were separated according to mahadevan & tatum (1965), i.e. fraction i, glucan-peptide-galactosamine complex; fraction iii, laminarin-like glucan; and fraction iv, chitin. distinct patterns of immunofluorescent staining were obtained using an indirect staining method. hyphae stained with antiserum to fraction i showed maximum fluorescence in the apical and/or subapical regions: in both cases, fluor ... | 1976 | 134131 |
| permeability measurements on mitochondria from wild-type and poky strains of neurospora crassa. | the permeability properties of isolated neurospora mitochondria were determined by measuring the rate at which the mitochondria swell in isotonic solutions of various organic and inorganic molecules. like mammalian mitochondria, wild-type neurospora mitochondria were impermeable to sucrose and only slightly more permeable to most inorganic ions (k, na, cl). their permeability to k was greatly increased by valinomycin and by monensin. in addition, the mitochondria contain specific systems mediati ... | 1976 | 134027 |
| depression of uracil uptake by ammonium in neurospora crassa. | the mechanism of uracil uptake and one aspect of its regulation were studied in germinated conidia of neurospora crassa. uracil was found to be taken up by a transport mechanism that did not exhibit michaelis-menten kinetics. rather, the kinetic patterns indicated two separate systems or a single transport mechanism with negative cooperativity. cytosine and thymine inhibited uracil uptake, but uridine did not. the mutant strain uc-5-pyr-1, which failed to transport uracil, was used in reversion ... | 1976 | 134026 |
| neurospora crassa cytoplasmic ribosomes; ribosomal ribonucleic acid synthesis in the wild type. | the biosynthesis of ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rrna) in wild-type neurospora crassa growing at 25 degrees c was investigated by continuous-labeling and pulsechase experiments using [5-3h]uridine. the results of these experiments suggest the following precursor-product relationships: the first rna molecule to be synthesized in significant quantities is the 2.4 x 10(6)-dalton (2.4-mdal) ribosomal precursor rna. this rna is cleaved to produce two species of rna with weights of 0.7 and 1.4-mdal. th ... | 1976 | 134025 |
| fine cytochemical detection of acid mucopolysaccharides in growing hyphae of neurospora crassa. | the presence of mucopolysaccharides (mp) in neurospora crassa hyphae was detected in samples of cultures from 4 h to 5 days. using a modification of the method of rothman (1969), acid mp were identified by electron microscopy in vesicles located at the apex, septae, and throughout the cytoplasm of the hyphae. the size, number, and localization of these vesicles was related to the stage of growth of the fungus. the mechanisms of release and transport of these macromolecules are compared to the pr ... | 1976 | 134010 |
| action of intracellular proteinases on mitochondrial translation products of neurospora crassa schizosaccharomyces pombe. | gel electrophoretic analysis of mitochondrial membranes from neurospora crassa shows the presence of a polypeptide fraction with apparent molecular weights of 7000 - 1200, which is synthesized on mitochondrial ribosomes. this fraction comprises between 10 and 50% of total mitochondrial translation products. evidence is presented that the major part of this fraction is derived from components with higher apparent molecular weights by proteolytic activity. the proteolytic activity is located in ve ... | 1976 | 133982 |
| mutation induction by difunctional alkylating agents in neurospora crassa. | the genetic characterization of ad-3 mutants of neurospora crassa induced by two carcinogenic difunctional akylating agents, 1,2,4,5-diepoxypentane (dep) and 1,2,7,8-diepoxyoctane (deo), has shown that point mutations at the ad-3b locus have similar complementation patterns. in addition to the induction of point mutations, dep induces a low frequency (7.5%) of multilocus deletions, whereas deo induces an extremely high frequency (42.0%). the distribution of the different classes of ad-3 mutants ... | 2002 | 133852 |

| differences and similarities in chromatin structure of neurospora crassa and higher eucaryotes. | the subunit structure of neurospora chromatin which contains a full histone complement (goff, 1976) exhibits both differences and similarities to chromatin of higher eucaryotes. the size of the dna per subunit is only 170 +/- 5 base pairs, as compared to 200 base pairs in higher eucaryotes. however, the internal structures of the subunits are closely related. they contain 140 base pairs of dna that are more tightly associated with the histone core and similarly arranged on the outside of the sub ... | 1976 | 133762 |
| isolation of specific protease inhibitors from neurospora crassa. | four natural protease inhibitors have been partially purified by heat treatment, ion-exchange chromatography pand gel filtration from neurospora crassa. the inhibitory activity has been estimated by measuring the inhibition of proteolysis of casein as well as by the protection of neurospora tryptophan synthase from proteolytic inactivation. the inhibitors are all oligopeptides and possess molecular weights in the range 5000-24 000 and appear to be very specific to neurospora proteases. they may ... | 1976 | 133753 |
| the mitochondrial ribosomes of neurospora crassa. ii. comparison of the proteins from neurospora crassa mitochondrial ribosomes with ribosomal proteins from neurospora cytoplasm, from rat liver mitochondria and from bacteria. | 1. it has been shown by datema et al. (datema, r., agsteribbe, e. and kroon, a.m. (1974) biochim. biophys. acta 335, 386--395) that neurospora mitochondria isolated in a mg2+-containing medium (or after homogenization of the mycelium in this medium and subsequent washing of the mitochondria in edta-containing medium) possess 80-s ribosomes; mitochondria homogenized and isolated in edta medium yield 73-s ribosomes. the ribosomal proteins of the subunits of 80-s and 73-s ribosomes were compared by ... | 1976 | 133723 |
| mutations in neurospora crassa which affect multiple amino acid transport systems. | characterization of a double mutant, his-6: hgu-4, which is unable to utilize l-histidyl-glycine as a source of histidine has revealed a new locus on linkage group v. the hgu-4 genotype results in a generalized reduced transport activity for amino acids, with a concomitant increased resistance to amino acid analogs. transport rates and analog resistance for amino acids by this mutant are compared to the previously reported transport deficient mutants fpr-1, nap and un-3. transport of l-aspartate ... | 1976 | 133719 |
| enzymatic determination of nonrandom incorporation of 5-bromodeoxyuridine in rat dna. | secondary cultures of normal rat embryo cells were synchronized by a double thymidine block and pulsed with 10(-7) m 5-[3h]bromodeoxyuridine (brdurd) or 10(-7) m[3h]thymidine during an entire s phase (7.5 h). to examine the pattern of [3h]thymidine, dna was immediately extracted and purified at the completion of the s phase, cscl density gradient centrifugation revealed that substitution for thymine by bromouracil was less than 7%. single-strand specific nucleases obtained from aspergillus oryza ... | 1976 | 133713 |
| changes of some enzymatic activities in iodoacetate-treated microconidiating cultures of neurospora crassa. | in iodoacetate-treated microconidating cultures of neurospora crassa, mycelial yield, sucrose consumption and ethanol production are reduced. the specific activity of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is sharply decreased while the specific activities of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase are stimulated. a polyphenoloxidase is induced in the microconidiating cultures. | 1976 | 133649 |
| comparison of ultraviolet and blacklight for the induction of nutritional independence at two loci in neurospora crassa. | the inactivating effects of both near ultraviolet (blacklight) and shortwave ultraviolet (uv) have been investigated for two auxotrophic strains of neurospora crassa. the two strain were indistinguishable with respect to their sensitivity to inactivation by blacklight, but differed in their sensitivity to uv (def congruent to 1.3-1.6 at 0.1 survival). the strains each carried an allele of different genes previously demonstrated as being capable of mutation in response to uv. the results confirm ... | 1976 | 133288 |
| ageing of neurospora crassa. iii. induction of cellular death and clonal senescence of an inositol-less mutant by inositol starvation and the protective effect of dietary antioxidants. | clonal growth rate and cellular viability of an inositol-less mutant of neurospora crassa decline rapidly during deprivation of dietary inositol. dietary antioxidants, either nordihydroguaiaretic acid, vitamin e or 3,5-ditert.-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, protected cells and clones of the mutant from death and senescence. membrane deterioration with associated lipid autoxidation and consequent deleterious free radical reactions appear to be, in part at least, the causes of the mutant's death a ... | 2013 | 133275 |
| carnitine biosynthesis in neurospora crassa: enzymatic conversion of lysine to epsilon-n-trimethyllysine. | the enzymatic conversion of l-lysine, epsilon-n-trimethyl-l-lysine the first series of reactions in the biosynthesis of carnitine in neurospora crassa, proceeds via sequential methylation of free l-lysine, epsilon-n-methyl-l-lysine, and epsilon -n-dimethyl-l-lysine. the latter two compounds have been shown to be intermediates in the biosynthesis of carnitine by radioisotope dilution and incorporation experiments in growing cultures of n. crassa 33933 (lys-) and 38706 (met-). methionine but not c ... | 1976 | 133101 |
| biochemical studies on the nit mutants of neurospora crassa. | one allele at each of the five nit loci in neurospora crassa together with the wild type strain have been compared on various nitrogen sources with regard to (i) their growth characteristics (ii) the level of nitrate reductase and its associated activities (reduced benzyl viologen nitrate reductase and cytochrome c reductase) (iii) the level of nitrate reductase and (iv) their ability to take up nitrite from the surrounding medium. results are consistent with the hypothesis that nit-3 is the str ... | 1976 | 132603 |
| ageing of neurospora crassa. ii. organic hydroperoxide toxicity and the protective role of antioxidant and the antioxygenic enzymes. | cumene hydroperoxide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide at sublethal concentrations initially prevent growth of mycelia of wild-type neurospora crassa, but after a time the cells grow at a subnormal steady-state rate. the antioxidant nordihydroguaiaretic acid protects unadapted cells from hydroperoxide inhibition, leading to a decrease in the time before growth begins, an increase in steady-state growth rate and an increase in biomass production. the results of growth transfer experiments and enzyme m ... | 2006 | 132584 |
| ageing of neurospora crassa. i. evidence for the free radical theory of ageing from studies of a natural-death mutant. | a recessive mutant of neurospora crassa, called natural-death, is characterized by a decreasing clonal growth potential under all nutritional conditions and the irreversible cessation of growth. the primary molecular defect of this mutant is not known. evidence presented here, based upon measurements of the activities and thermolabilities of several enzymes, suggests that faulty protein synthesis is probably not a cause of the senescence and death of the mutant, as suggested by lewis and hollida ... | 2008 | 132583 |
| histones of neurospora crassa. | neurospora crassa chromatin isolated by a rapid method minimizing proteolytic degradation contains approximately one weight of acid-extractable basic protein per weight of dna. this basic protein consists of five major polypeptide species which are similar in size to the histone proteins of higher eukaryotes and are present in approximately the same molar ratios. these five polypeptides have been purified by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. their elec ... | 1976 | 132444 |
| compartmental behavior of ornithine in neurospora crassa. | in neurospora cells grown on minimal medium, most of the large ornithine pool is found in osmotically sensitive organelles, the "vesicles." in this paper kinetic studies on the compartmental behavior of ornithine and its derivatives are reported. analysis of the metabolism of a 10(-7) m pulse of uniformly labeled l-[14c] ornithine supports the following conclusions: (a) over 98% of the cellular ornithine is in the vesicles. (b) the amount of ornithine normally in the cytosol is about 0.3% of the ... | 1976 | 132443 |
| isolation and identification of the conidial germination factor of neurospora crassa. | the germination-essential substance (germination factor [gf]) that is lost from conidia of neurospora crassa on exposure to solutions of low water activity has been isolated and identified as a group of iron-transport compounds, or siderochromes. the principal siderochrome of conidia is ferricrocin, a cyclic hexapeptide. a closely related substance, ferrichrome c, is tentatively identified as a minor constituent. the same substances are also present in extracts of mycelium along with small amoun ... | 1976 | 132426 |
