| the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein of the mitochondrial atpase complex from neurospora crassa and saccharomyces cerevisiae. identification and isolation. | incubation of mitochondria from neurospora crassa and saccharomyces cerevisiae with the radioactive atpase inhibitor [14c]dicyclohexylcarbodiimide results in the irreversible and rather specific labelling of a low-molecular-weight polypeptide. this dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is identical with the smallest subunit (mr 8000) of the mitochondrial atpase complex, and it occurs as oligomer, probably as hexamer, in the enzyme protein. the dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-binding protein is extra ... | 1979 | 154405 |
| [studies on the conidial differentiation of "neurospora crassa" vi.--functional anomalies of the conditional aconidial mutant "amycelial" (author's transl)]. | studies using the morphological mutant "amycelial"--a conditional, aconidial strain of n. crassa--have revealed certain consistent functional and biochemical differences from wild type strains showing normal morphology and conidia formation. thus it was found that the mutant strain showed an abnormal utilization of protein reserves at a time when there is extensive degradation during conidiogenesis in wild type. in addition, the mutant exhibited abnormally low oxygen consumption and free amino a ... | 1975 | 173223 |

| transcription and translation in e. coli of hybrid plasmids containing the catabolic dehydroquinase gene from neurospora crassa. | two hybrid plasmids which carry the gene for neurospora crassa catabolic dehydroquinase (c-dhqase) and complement an arod6 (dehydroquinase-deficient) auxotroph of escherichia coli have been analyzed. one of these contains a 2.9 kilobase (kb) fragment cloned in the hindiii site of plasmid pbr322 (pvk57) and the other contains a 6.8 kb fragment cloned in the psti site (pvk88). restriction enzyme mapping of these plasmids has demonstrated that the 2.9 kb fragment is totally contained within the 6.8 ... | 1978 | 154430 |
| comparison of the genetic activity of 5-nitroimidazole derivatives in escherichia coli, neurospora crassa, saccharomyces cerevisiae and drosophila melanogaster. | 5-nitroimidazoles, including metronidazole (compound 1) and 3 analogues (compounds 2, 3 and 4) of actual or potential chemotherapeutic use were assayed for genetic activity in test systems detecting forward and back mutations in escherichia coli k-12/343/113, forward mutations in neurospora crassa heterokaryon 12, mitotic gene conversion in the heteroallelic diploid yeast strain saccharomyces cerevisiae d4 and sex-linked recessive lethals in drosophila melanogaster. whereas metronidazole exhibit ... | 1979 | 154545 |
| [effect of liver chromatin dnase on closed circular dna of pm-2 phage and simian virus 40]. | comparative effect of the dnase from rat liver chromatin and neurospora crassa endonuclease s1 on closed circular superhelical dna of pm-2 phage and simian virus 40 is studied. it is shown that both of them--the dnase from chromatin proteins and endonuclease s1--are specific to single-stranded regions in dna molecular. it is suggested that chromatin protein dnase participates in reparation processes. | 1977 | 196682 |
| interesting and unusual features in the sequence of neurospora crassa mitochondrial tyrosine transfer rna. | the mitochondrial tyrosine trna from neurospora crassa has been sequenced and found to have several interesting features: (i) it resembles prokaryotic rather than eukaryotic tyrosine trnas in that it possesses a large variable loop (loop iii); moreover, it can be quantitatively aminoacylated by escherichia coli tyrosyl-trna synthetase but not by yeast tyrosyl-trna synthetase. (ii) this trna differs from all trna's sequenced to date in lacking the a residue at position 14 and the constant purine ... | 1979 | 154673 |
| mediated mutagenesis of dimethylnitrosamine in neurospora crassa by various metabolic activation systems. | four metabolic activation systems (growth mediated mycelium extract mediated, host mediated, and organ homogenate mediated) were used to study the mutagenic activity of dimethylnitrosamine (dmn) in both forward and reverse mutation systems in the ad-3 (adenine-3) region of neurospora crassa. dmn was not mutagenic in neurospora if conidia alone were treated. it was highly mutagenic, however, if conidia were treated with this compound under any of the four activation systems. quantitative differen ... | 1979 | 154971 |

| constitutive expression in escherichia coli of the neurospora crassa structural gene encoding the inducible enzyme catabolic dehydroquinase. | in neurospora crassa the qa-2 gene, which encodes catabolic dehydroquinase, is under positive control exerted by the inducer quinic acid and an activator protein encoded in the closely linked qa-1 gene. in order to determine if this regulatory mechanism is maintained when the qa-2 gene is cloned on a recombinant plasmid and expressed in escherichia coli, molecular cloning experiments have been performed using dna isolated from a qa-1+ (inducible), a qa-1c (constitutive) and two qa-1 (non-inducib ... | 1979 | 156301 |
| nucleotide sequence and conserved features of the 5.8 s rrna coding region of neurospora crassa. | the nucleotide sequence of neurospora crassa 5.8 s rdna and adjacent regions has been determined. the deduced 5.8 s rrna sequence of neurospora differs from the 5.8 s rrna sequence of saccharomyces cerevisiae at 13 of 158 residues. nine of these differences are clustered in a segment capable of forming a short hairpin secondary structure thought to be involved in the 28 s - 5.8 s rrna complex. these differences occur in pairs such that the potential secondary structure is preserved. | 1979 | 156910 |
| inducible and constitutive kynureninases. control of the inducible enzyme activity by transamination and inhibition of the constitutive enzyme by 3-hydroxyanthranilate. | the inducible kynureninase from neurospora crassa is inactivated by incubation with l-alanine or l-ornithine. the inactivated enzyme is resolved to the apoenzyme by dialysis. reactivation of the apoenzyme is achieved by incubation with pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate plus pyruvate, as well as with pyridoxal 5'-phosphate. the kynurenine hydrolysis proceeds linearly in the presence of added pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, or pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate plus pyruvate. these findings indicate that the fungal induci ... | 1979 | 158014 |

| rapid rna sequencing: nucleases from staphylococcus aureus and neurospora crassa discriminate between uridine and cytidine. | using end-labelled rna, significant changes in base specificity of three nucleases have been detected under defined conditions. staphylococcus aureus nuclease at ph 3.5 without ca++ cleaves all pyr-n bonds more uniformly and efficiently than rnase a, without any preference for pyr-a bonds. at ph 7.5 in 10 mm ca++ this enzyme cleaves all n-c and n-g bonds slowly, whereas n-u and n-a bonds are hydrolyzed rapidly. hence, the base at the 3'- or at the 5'-side of a phosphodiester bond can determine t ... | 1979 | 158747 |
| cell-free synthesis of the mitochondrial adp/atp carrier protein of neurospora crassa. | adp/atp carrier protein was synthesized in heterologous cell-free systems programmed with neurospora poly(a)-containing rna and homologous cell-free systems from neurospora. the apparent molecular weight of the product obtained in vitro was the same as that of the authentic mitochondrial protein. the primary translation product obtained in reticulocyte lysates starts with formylmethionine when formylated initiator methionyl-trna (fmet-trnafmet) was present. the product synthesized in vitro was r ... | 1979 | 159174 |
| mapping and cloning of neurospora crassa mitochondrial transfer rna genes. | we have obtained collections of recombinant escherichia coli plasmids containing restriction fragments of neurospora crassa mitochondrial dna cloned into pbr322. by hybridization of 32p end-labeled total mitochondrial trnas and seven different purified trnas to restriction digests of mitochondrial dna and of recombinant plasmids carrying specific restriction fragments, we have located the trna genes on the mitochondrial dna. we have found that the mitochondrial trna genes are present in two majo ... | 1979 | 159308 |
| efficient transformation of neurospora crassa by utilizing hybrid plasmid dna. | an efficient transformation system has been developed for neurospora crassa that uses spheroplasts and pvk88 plasmid dna. pvk88 is a recombinant escherichia coli plasmid carrying the n. crassa qa-2(+) gene which encodes catabolic dehydroquinase (3-dehydroquinate hydro-lyase, ec 4.2.1.10) and is part of the qa gene cluster. the recipient strain carries a stable qa-2(-) mutation and an arom-9(-) mutation, thus lacking both catabolic and biosynthetic dehydroquinase activities. transformants were se ... | 1979 | 159454 |
| characterization of variant neurospora crassa mitochondrial dnas which contain tandem reiterations. | two variant mtdna types ((types iia and hi-10) have been identified in individual subcultures of the extra-nuclear [poky] mutant of neurospora crassa. eco ri digests of type iia mtdna are characterized by an extra band, alpha, mr = 1.4 mdal, which arises from tandemly inserted reiterations of a 1.4 mdal sequence. restriction enzyme analysis and southern hybridization experiments show: that the 1.4 mdal repeats are located at the junction of eco ri-4 and -6, that the repeats contain sequences ord ... | 1979 | 160287 |
| increased expression of a eukaryotic gene in escherichia coli through stabilization of its messenger rna. | the expression of a cloned eukaryotic gene [catabolic dehydroquinase (3-dehydroquinate hydro-lyase, ec 4.2.1.10) (qa-2+) from neurospora crassa] is dramatically increased (as much as 100-fold) in escherichia coli strains deficient in polynucleotide phosphorylase (pnp) (polynucleotide: orthophosphate nucleotidyltransferase, ec 2.7.7.8) and rnase i (rna). the increased expression is controlled primarily by the absence of polynucleotide phosphorylase and appears to be specific for the eukaryotic ge ... | 1979 | 160556 |
| formation of nadph-nitrate reductase activity in vitro from aspergillus nidulans niad and cnx mutants. | mutants of a. nidulans at several loci lack detectable nadph-nitrate reductase activity. these loci include niad, the structural gene for the nitrate reductase polypeptide, and five other loci termed cnxabc, e, f, g and h which are presumed to be involved in the formation of a molybdenum-containing component (mcc) necessary for nitrate reductase activity. when forzen mycelia from a. nidulans deletion mutant niad26 were homogenized in a ten broeck homogenizer together with frozen mycelia from eit ... | 1976 | 796678 |

| the regulated catabolism of endogenous and exogenous phosphatidylinositol by saccharomyces cerevisiae leading to extracellular glycerophosphorylinositol and inositol. | it was previously shown that phosphatidylinositol catabolism leads to the accumulation of glycerophosphorylinositol in the culture medium of saccharomyces cerevisiae. we now find that lack of an energy source (glucose) reduces the formation of glycerophosphorylinositol and increases extra-cellular inositol. this situation is reversed by refeeding glucose. [3h]phosphatidylinositol is the precursor of extra-cellular [3h]inositol with energy-starved cells. extracellular glycerophosphorylcholine and ... | 1975 | 166987 |
| the influence of amino acid substitutions on the conformational energy of cytochrome c. | conformational energies have been evaluated for each of the staggered side-chain conformations associated with the 261 amino acid substitutions known to occur among 60 eucaryotic species. at least 86% of these substitutions can be sterically accommodated (one at a time) within the structure of horse-heart cytochrome c resulting from conformational energy refinement. simultaneous incorporation of all pertinent amino acid substitutions found in eight representative species into the refined horse-h ... | 1975 | 169879 |

| regulation of the activity of microbial kynureninase by transamination of the enzyme-bound coenzyme. | kynureninase was purified to homogeneity from the extracts of pseudomonas marginalis and neurospora crassa. the active kynureninase containing pyridoxal 5'-phosphate transaminates with l-ornithine or l-alanine to form the inactive pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate form of enzyme and delta1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate or pyruvate. this inactive enzyme transaminates with pyruvate to restore the active pyridoxal 5'-phosphate enzyme and l-alanine. the activity of kynureninase is regulated in this manner by tran ... | 1975 | 1244119 |
| characterization of a seventh different subunit of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase. similarities between the beef heart enzyme and that from other species. | beef heart cytochrome c oxidase has been resolved into seven subunits by electrophoresis in highly cross-linked gels containing urea and sodium dodecyl sulfate. the molecular weights of the polypeptides are estimated to be i, 35 400; ii, 24 100; iii, 21 000; iv, 16 800; v, 12 400; vi, 8200; and vii, 4400. it has been shown that subunits ii and iii can coelectrophorese on standard sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels and appear as a single component with an apparent molecular weight of 22 5 ... | 1976 | 181053 |
| cytochrome c-specific protein methylase iii from neurospora crassa. | a protein methylase iii responsible for specifically methylating the cytochrome c in neurospora crassa was partially characterized by using unmethylated horse heart cytochrome c as a substrate. this enzyme utilizes s-adenosyl-l-methionine as the methyl donor. an analysis of the distribution of [14c]methyl groups in the peptides obtained by chymotrypsin digestion of the enzymically methylated cytochrome c showed that all of the radioactivity could be recovered within a single peak after chromatog ... | 1977 | 196592 |
| literature survey of bacterial, fungal, and drosophila assay systems used in the evaluation of selected chemical compounds for mutagenic activity. | literature reports were surveyed, with results noted from experiments in seven nonmammalian assay systems used for the detection of mutagenicity or other related genetic effects. a comparison was made of the activities of 54 selected noncarcinogens, procarcinogens, and ultimate carcinogens as revealed by these test systems. of the compounds tested, 49 (91%) were active in one or more of the assays, and 42 (78%) were positive in at least one system without having to be metabolically activated. in ... | 1979 | 155170 |

| inactivation of neurospora crassa conidia by singlet molecular oxygen generated by a photosensitized reaction. | photodynamic damage of neurospora crassa conidia was studied in the presence of the photosensitizing dye, toluidine blue o. conidia which germinated to form colonies decreased in number as irradiation time became longer. the photoinactivation of conidia was suppressed by azide, bovine serum albumin, and histidine, and was stimulated in deuterium oxide. wild-type conidia were less sensitive to the irradiation than albino conidia. in the wild-type, carotenoid-enriched conidia were more resistant a ... | 1979 | 155692 |
| control of cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate levels by depolarizing agents in fungi. | it has been reported that diverse treatments which depolarize the plasma membrane of neurospora crassa produce rapid increases in cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic amp) levels. in the current study, membrane active antibiotics, which are known or putative depolarizing agents, were found to produce similar cyclic amp increases, not only in n. crassa, but also in the distantly related fungi saccharomyces cerevisiae and mucor racemosus. uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, which have ... | 1979 | 220213 |
| cytochrome c oxidase subunits in nuclear and extranuclear cytochrome-aa3-deficient mutants of neurospora crassa. | the mitochondria of cytochrome-aa3-deficient neurospora crassa mutants were screened for the seven polypeptide constiuents of cytochrome c oxidase. the polypeptides of the holoenzyme and the unassembled or partially assembled subunits were detected by sodium dodecyl sulfate/acrylamide gel electrophoresis of immunoprecipitates obtained with antiserum to the holoenzyme as well as to several individual subunits. with respect to the mitochondrially synthesized polypeptides of the oxidase, subunits 1 ... | 1979 | 223848 |
| the acu-1 gene of coprinus cinereus is a regulatory gene required for induction of acetate utilisation enzymes. | we have isolated a gene from coprinus cinereus which cross-hybridises to the faca and acu-5 genes of aspergillus nidulans and neurospora crassa, respectively. these genes encode acetyl-coa synthetase, an enzyme which is inducible by acetate and required for growth on acetate as sole carbon source. we have designated the c. cinereus gene acs-1 and have used transformation to demonstrate its functional homology to the ascomycete genes by complementation of an n. crassa acu-5 mutation. the acs-1 ge ... | 1992 | 1354839 |
| an acetate-sensitive mutant of neurospora crassa deficient in acetyl-coa hydrolase. | the predicted amino acid sequence of the product of the acetate-inducible acu-8 gene of neurospora crassa, previously of unknown function, has close homology to the recently published sequence of saccharomyces cerevisiae acetyl-coa hydrolase. an acu-8 mutant strain, previously characterized as acetate non-utilizing, shows strong growth-inhibition by acetate, but will use it as carbon source at low concentrations. the mutant was shown to be deficient in acetyl-coa hydrolase and to accumulate acet ... | 1992 | 1357077 |
| mitochondrial dna of schizophyllum commune: restriction map, genetic map, and mode of inheritance. | mitochondrial dna (mtdna) found in the basidiomycete schizophyllum commune (strain 4-40) is a circular molecule 49.75 kbp in length. a physical map containing 61 restriction sites revealed no repeat structures. cloned genes from neurospora crassa, aspergillus nidulans, and saccharomyces cerevisiae were used in southern hybridizations to locate nine mitochondrial genes, including a possible pseudogene of atpase 9, on the restriction map. a probe from a functional atpase 9 gene identified homologo ... | 1992 | 1358467 |
