| biogenesis of mitochondrial membranes in neurospora crassa. mitochondrial protein synthesis during conidial germination. | the conidia of neurospora crassa entered logarithmic growth after a 1-h lag period at 30 degrees c. although [14c]leucine is incorporated quickly early in growth, cellular protein data indicated that no net protein synthesis occurred until after 2 h of growth. neurospora is known to produce ethanol during germination even though respiratory enzymes are present. also, neurospora mitochondria isolated from cells less than 3-h old are uncoupled. since oxygen uptake increased during germination, was ... | 2002 | 126153 |
| the interactive effect of ultraviolet irradiation and 5-bromouracil at the rib-1 locus in neurospora crassa. | 5-bromouracil (5-bu) was shown to enhance reverse mutation rates when added to conidia of a rib-1 strain of neurospora crassa previously irradiated with ultraviolet light. a comparison is presented between various incubation intervals in the presence and absence of 5-bu while varying the uv dose. an increase in mutation frequency ranging from 0.028 - 2.05 x 10(2) times greater than the spontaneous frequency, uv frequency alone or 5-bu frequency alone was observed when uv irradiation and 5-bu wer ... | 2002 | 126795 |
| 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 |
| 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 |

| mechanisms controlling the two phosphate uptake systems in neurospora crassa. | the development of the high-affinity and low-affinity phosphate uptake systems of neurospora crassa has been followed during germination and early growth. the ratio between the activities of the two systems became constant by the time exponential growth began, although the value of this ratio depended on the external phosphate concentration. the regulatory mechanisms controlling the systems were investigated by following the changes that resulted when exponentially growing germlings adapted to o ... | 2003 | 156717 |
| mobilization of sequestered metabolities into degradative reactions by nutritional stress in neurospora. | the pools of arginine and ornithine rapidly disappear during nitrogen starvation of neurospora crassa. much of this disappearance can be accounted for by degradation catalyzed by preexisting catabolic enzymes. purine degradation is also initiated by nitrogen metabolic stress. mobilization of these compounds into degradative reactions does not appear to be a general response to nutritional stress since neither carbon starvation nor inhibition of protein synthesis elicits this response. it is sugg ... | 2003 | 156715 |

| reversion and interallelic complementation at four urease loci in neurospora crassa. | analysis of heat stability of urease in extracts of 24 revertants, six for each of four ure loci, revealed that at least one revertant for each locus had a heat stability about one-third that of wild type. similar results were obtained with urease formed by interallelic complementation at the ure-2 and ure-4 loci, but interallelic complementation at the ure-1 and ure-3 loci produced insufficient urease activity for analysis. the data are interpreted to suggest, as a tentative model, a structural ... | 2003 | 154055 |
| nitrogen regulation of amino acid catabolism in neurospora crassa. | neurospora crassa can utilize numerous compounds including certain amino acids as a sole nitrogen source. mutants of the nit-2 locus, a regulatory gene which is postulated to mediate nitrogen catabolite repression, are deficient in the ability to utilize several amino acids as well as other nitrogen sources used by wild type. various enzymes involved in amino acid catabolism were found to be regulated in distinct ways. arginase, ornithine transaminase, and pyrroline-5-carboxylate dehydrogenase a ... | 2003 | 150270 |

| genetic control of phosphate-metabolizing enzymes in neurospora crassa: relationships among regulatory mutations. | in neurospora crassa, the phosphate-metabolizing enzymes are made during phosphate starvation, but not under phosphate sufficiency. the synthesis of these enzymes is controlled by three regulatory genes: pcon-nuc-2, preg and nuc-1, pcon-nuc-2 and preg are closely linked. a model of the hierarchical relationships among these regulatory genes is presented. studies of double mutants and revertants confirm several predictions of the model. it has been found that nuc-2 (null) and pcon-c (constitutive ... | 2002 | 123873 |
| 9(10)-alkoxystearic acids lengthen the circadian period of a fatty acid auxotroph of neurospora crassa. | 9- and 10-alkoxystearic acids with alkoxy groups of varying size were synthesized by solvomercuration of methyl oleate. these "knobbed" fatty acids were used to supplement a neurospora strain carrying the cel mutation, which confers a partial fatty acid deficiency. supplemental unsaturated or short-chain fatty acids are known to lengthen dramatically the circadian period of spore formation (conidiation) in cel strains. a similar dramatic lengthening was obtained with the alkoxy supplements. the ... | 2010 | 2955422 |
| nuclear mutants of neurospora crassa temperature-sensitive for the synthesis of cytochrome aa3. i. isolation and preliminary characterization. | three nuclear mutants of neurospora crassa, temperature-sensitive for the synthesis of cytochrome aa3 have been isolated. when grown at 41 degrees c the mutants have large amounts of kcn-insensitive respiration, reduced amounts of cytochrome aa3 and cytochrome c oxidase activity, and grow more slowly than wild-type cultures grown at the same temperature. when the mutants are grown at 23 degrees c, they are virtually indistinguishable from wild-type strains. the mutants were selected on the basis ... | 1979 | 216900 |
| control of neurospora crassa morphology by cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate and dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate. | the role of cyclic adenosine 3', 5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp) in the control of the neurospora asexual life cycle was studied. endogenous cyclic amp levels were 10 to 20 times higher in strains having the wild-type cr-1 allele than in those carrying the mutated allele. in a wild-type strain these levels remained constant throughtout the entire growth period in shaken liquid cultures, except during a short period at the beginning of the stationary growth phase. in this period a marked increase i ... | 1995 | 177398 |

| primary structure, in vitro expression and import into mitochondria of a 29/21-kda subunit of complex i from neurospora crassa. | a full-length cdna clone coding for a cytoplasmically-synthesized subunit of complex i from neurospora crassa (apparent molecular mass of 29 kda) was isolated. dna sequencing revealed an open reading frame coding for a protein containing 201 amino acids. a molecular mass of 21323 da was calculated. the precursor polypeptide was efficiently expressed in vitro and imported into isolated mitochondria. it is synthesized without a cleavable signal sequence and needs a membrane potential in order to b ... | 1961 | 2137337 |
| characterization of the aspartate carbamoyltransferase fragment generated by protease action on the pyrimidine-3 gene product of neurospora crassa. | the molecular weight of the fragment of aspartate carbamoyltransferase (carbamoylphosphate: l-aspartate carbamoyltransferase, ec 2.1.3.2) of neurospora crassa following proteolysis was found to be 1.0-10(5) (aspartate carbamoyltransferase-l). it differs from the native form of the enzyme (aspartate carbamoyltransferase-n, 6.5-10(5)) in several respects. it has a lower v, has a much greater affinity (approx. 3-fold) for l-aspartate, and is strongly activated by glycine. both forms of aspartate ca ... | 1998 | 21697 |
| conidiation of neurospora crassa induced by treatment with natrium fluoride in submerged culture. | a transient treatment of pregerminated conidia of neurospora crassa with naf induced young, submerged cultures to prematurely differentiate conidia. the inductive treatment decreased the rate of respiration (with lower rq), reduced the relative concentration of nucleoside triphosphates, and inhibited leucine incorporation into protein and adenosine incorporation into rna. | 2001 | 125568 |

| regulation of glutamine synthesis by glycine and serine in neurospora crassa. | the biosynthetic activities of the polypeptide subunits alpha and beta of glutamine synthetase (gs) were inhibited in vitro by glycine and serine. these amino acids inhibited the growth of a mutant strain with partial gs activity when grown on glutamate as the nitrogen source and also blocked the synthesis of the glutamine in vivo, thus demonstrating the inhibitory effect on gs activity in vivo. glycine and serine lowered the intracellular glutamine pool and regulated gs beta synthesis. a prefer ... | 2009 | 2867084 |
| organization of the functional domains of anthranilate synthase from neurospora crassa. limited proteolysis studies. | treatment of the multifunctional alpha 2 beta 2 anthranilate synthase complex of neurospora crassa with elastase produced two fragments of the complex, one possessing anthranilate synthase activity and the other having both indole-3-glycerol phosphate (ingp) synthase and n-(5'-phosphoribosyl)anthranilate (pra) isomerase activities. sequencing the nh2 terminus of the ingp synthase-pra isomerase fragment revealed that cleavage was between positions 237 and 238 of the beta-subunit within a segment ... | 2010 | 2946679 |
| cold-induced increase of glycerol kinase activity in neurospora crassa: rapid inactivation of the enzyme in vivo. | the glycerol kinase activity induced by incubation of neurospora crassa at low temperatures was rapidly lost when cultures were returned to 26 c. after a short lag, the activity disappeared irreversibly with a half-life of approximately 15 min. the loss of activity was not due to a change in the level of an inhibitor or activator. glycerol reduced the activity loss but did not completely prevent it, which was an effect that was dependent on protein synthesis. the cold-induced activity was also a ... | 2014 | 4281774 |

| occurrence in wild strains of neurospora crassa of genes controlling genetic recombination. | each of the main laboratory wild stocks of n. crassa carries one of two alleles at the rec-1 and rec-2 loci and one of three at the rec-3 locus. the constitutions of the stocks are given in fig. 1. some of those conserved are evidently not the originals. the third rec-3 gene (rec-3l), found in lindegren a, controls recombination at the am-1 locus to a level between that of rec-3+ and rec-3, the relative levels being 1 : 8 : 25. at the his-2 locus rec-3l is indistinguishable from rec-3+ in its le ... | 2002 | 126680 |
| dna-mediated genetic changes in neurospora crassa. | evidence for genetic transformation in neurospora crassa is based on the observations that allo-dna has a specific effect in producing transformants which is abolished by dnaase treatment and that iso-dna is not effective in transformation. here, unambiguous evidence for genetic transformation is provided by transfer of a temperature-sensitive inositol requirement from a donor to a recipient strain. data provided also suggest the role of growth conditions and the involvement of a nuclease gene i ... | 1990 | 159941 |
| adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and morphology in neurospora crassa: drug-induced alterations. | grown in liquid culture in the presence of a variety of structurally unrelated drugs, mycelia of wild-type neurospora assume a colonial or semicolonial growth habit similar to that of known morphological mutants. drugs that produce these morphological changes include atropine, theophylline, histamine, and several of the quinoline-containing antimalarials. each of these drugs decrease the endogenous adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (camp) concentration of mycelia as a result of their effect o ... | 2003 | 165170 |

| lipid and cell wall changes in an inositol-requiring mutant of neurospora crassa. | an inositol deficiency in the inositol-requiring (inl) mutant of neurospora crassa led to changes in the composition of the inositol-containing lipids and the cell wall. on deficient levels of inositol, phosphatidyl inositol decreased by 23-fold, di(inositolphosphoryl) ceramide decreased by 4-fold, and monoinositolphosphoryl ceramide increased slightly. the inositol deficiency also led to an aberrant hyphal morphology and changes in both the amount of cell wall and the amino sugar content of the ... | 1982 | 220215 |
| effect of carbon source on enzymes involved in glycerol metabolism in neurospora crassa. | specific activities of eight enzymes involved in glycerol metabolism were determined in crude extracts of three strains of neurospora crassa after growth on six different carbon sources. one of the strains was wild type, which grew poorly on glycerol as sole carbon source; the other two were mutant strains which were efficient glycerol utilizers. a possible basis for this greater efficiency of glycerol utilization was catabolite repression of glyceraldehyde kinase by glycerol in wild type, and t ... | 1987 | 211971 |

| dna sequence duplications trigger gene inactivation in neurospora crassa. | transforming sequences are faithfully replicated in vegetative cells of neurospora but are typically subject at high frequency to sequence alterations and methylation in the period between fertilization and nuclear fusion. previous work showed a correlation between the occurrence of these radical changes, referred to by the acronym rip, and the presence of sequence duplications resulting from the introduced dna. various possible causes for the rip process were investigated. introduction of a sin ... | 2009 | 2842795 |
| phase resetting of the neurospora crassa circadian oscillator: effects of inositol depletion on sensitivity to light. | the input pathway between the blue-light photoreceptor and the circadian oscillator of neurospora crassa has not yet been identified. to test the hypothesis that an inositol phospholipid signaling system might be involved in blue-light signal transduction, phase resetting by light was assayed in the inositol-requiring inl strain under conditions of inositol depletion. phase-resetting curves and dose-response curves indicated that cultures maintained on low inositol (25 microm) were several order ... | 2006 | 1421476 |
| carbon-13 nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy of whole cells and of cytochrome c from neurospora crass grown with (s-me-13c)methionine. | neurospora crassa cytochrome c biosynthetically labelled with [s-me-13c]methionine was prepared and analysed by 13c nuclear-magnetic-resonance spectroscopy. the methyl group of methionine is extensively incorporated into an n-trimethyl-lysine-72 residue arise from s-adenosylmethionine transmethylation, and that the methyl carbons of methionine residues are sufficiently close to the haem centre to experience chemical shifts from the ring currents of the tetrapyrrole pi electrons and broadening du ... | 1997 | 179524 |

| effect of ethylene glycol on transcription of neurospora crassa conidial genome. | ethylene glycol (eg) was found not to alter dna sequences in neurospora crassa conidia, though it is believed to be mutagenic in nature. molecular hybridization revealed 20% increase in whole rna transcripts in eg-treated conidia, which indicates that while untreated conidia increase rna synthesis by 2.35fold, treated conidia are inhibited and undergo only a 1.2fold increase. thus there is an inhibition in potential rna synthesis, though some rna synthesis goes on in presence of ethylene glycol. | 2003 | 149018 |
