genetic analysis of wild-isolated neurospora crassa strains identified as dominant suppressors of repeat-induced point mutation.repeat-induced point mutation (rip) in neurospora results in inactivation of duplicated dna sequences. rip is thought to provide protection against foreign elements such as retrotransposons, only one of which has been found in n. crassa. to examine the role of rip in nature, we have examined seven n. crassa strains, identified among 446 wild isolates scored for dominant suppression of rip. the test system involved a small duplication that targets rip to the easily scorable gene erg-3. we previou ...200312871906
a comparison of physical mapping algorithms based on the maximum likelihood model.physical mapping of chromosomes using the maximum likelihood (ml) model is a problem of high computational complexity entailing both discrete optimization to recover the optimal probe order as well as continuous optimization to recover the optimal inter-probe spacings. in this paper, two versions of the genetic algorithm (ga) are proposed, one with heuristic crossover and deterministic replacement and the other with heuristic crossover and stochastic replacement, for the physical mapping problem ...200312874040
the aspergillus nidulans metr gene encodes a bzip protein which activates transcription of sulphur metabolism genes.the identification, isolation and characterization of a new aspergillus nidulans positive-acting gene metr, which encodes a transcriptional activator of sulphur metabolism, is reported. metr mutants are tight auxotrophs requiring methionine or homocysteine for growth. mutations in the metr gene are epistatic to mutations in the negative-acting sulphur regulatory scon genes. the metr coding sequence is interrupted by a single intron of 492 bp which is unusually long for fungi. aspergillus nidulan ...200312890030
characterization of the genomic organization of the region bordering the centromere of chromosome v of podospora anserina by direct sequencing.a podospora anserina bac library of 4800 clones has been constructed in the vector pbhyg allowing direct selection in fungi. screening of the bac collection for centromeric sequences of chromosome v allowed the recovery of clones localized on either sides of the centromere, but no bac clone was found to contain the centromere. seven bac clones containing 322,195 and 156,244bp from either sides of the centromeric region were sequenced and annotated. one 5s rrna gene, 5 trna genes, and 163 putativ ...200312892638
the ph-induced glycosylation of secreted phosphatases is mediated in aspergillus nidulans by the regulatory gene pacc-dependent pathway.in this communication, we show that the pacc(c)14 mutation drastically reduced the mannose and n-acetylglycosamine content of the paca-encoded acid phosphatase secreted by the fungus aspergillus nidulans when grown at 22 degrees c, ph 5.0, compared to a control strain. the staining after page was not observed for the paca-encoded acid phosphatase, while the pald-encoded pi-repressible alkaline phosphatase had an altered electrophoretic mobility. in addition, the secreted acid phosphatase also ha ...200312892641
import and assembly of neurospora crassa tom40 into mitochondria of trypanosoma brucei in vivo.the tom complex (translocase of the mitochondrial outer membrane) is a dynamic, multisubunit protein complex. tom40 is the major component of the complex and forms the preprotein conducting pore. to determine if a heterologous tom40 could be properly targeted and assembled into the trypanosoma brucei mitochondrial outer membrane, an ectopic copy of a gene encoding neurospora crassa tom40 (nctom40) was expressed in procyclic trypanosomes from a tetracycline regulated procyclic acidic repetitive p ...200312898181
environmental suppression of neurospora crassa cot-1 hyperbranching: a link between cot1 kinase and stress sensing.cot-1 mutants belong to a class of neurospora crassa colonial temperature-sensitive (cot) mutants that exhibit abnormal polar extension and branching patterns when grown at restrictive temperatures. cot-1 encodes a ser/thr protein kinase that is structurally related to the human myotonic dystrophy kinase which, when impaired, confers a disease that involves changes in cytoarchitecture and ion homeostasis. when grown under restrictive conditions, cot-1 cultures exhibited enhanced medium acidifica ...200312912889
asexual development is increased in neurospora crassa cat-3-null mutant strains.we use asexual development of neurospora crassa as a model system with which to determine the causes of cell differentiation. air exposure of a mycelial mat induces hyphal adhesion, and adherent hyphae grow aerial hyphae that, in turn, form conidia. previous work indicated the development of a hyperoxidant state at the start of these morphogenetic transitions and a large increase in catalase activity during conidiation. catalase 3 (cat-3) increases at the end of exponential growth and is induced ...200312912899
tina interacts with the nima kinase in aspergillus nidulans and negatively regulates astral microtubules during metaphase arrest.the tina gene of aspergillus nidulans encodes a protein that interacts with the nima mitotic protein kinase in a cell cycle-specific manner. highly similar proteins are encoded in neurospora crassa and aspergillus fumigatus. tina and nima preferentially interact in interphase and larger forms of tina are generated during mitosis. localization studies indicate that tina is specifically localized to the spindle pole bodies only during mitosis in a microtubule-dependent manner. deletion of tina alo ...200312925754
circadian rhythms in neurospora crassa: farnesol or geraniol allow expression of rhythmicity in the otherwise arrhythmic strains frq10, wc-1, and wc-2.in neurospora crassa, the circadian rhythm can be seen in the bd (band) strain as a series of "bands" or conidiation (spore-forming) regions on the surface of an agar medium. certain mutations at 3 different genes (frq, wc-1, or wc-2) lead to the loss of the circadian rhythm. in this study, it was found that the addition of 10(-4) to 10(-5) m of geraniol or farnesol restored rhythmic banding to strains that lack a circadian rhythm due to mutations in any 1 of these 3 genes. these 3 conditionally ...200312932081
identification of a new chondropsin class of antitumor compound that selectively inhibits v-atpases.we identify a new naturally occurring class of inhibitor of vacuolar h+-atpases (v-atpases) isolated from vacuolar membranes of neurospora crassa and from chromaffin granule membranes of bos taurus. to date, the new class includes six chondropsins and poecillastrin a, large polyketide-derived macrolide lactams with 33-37 membered rings. in the national cancer institute's 60-cell screen the chondropsin class showed a tumor cell growth inhibitory fingerprint essentially indistinguishable from that ...200312944415
an ordered collection of expressed sequences from cryphonectria parasitica and evidence of genomic microsynteny with neurospora crassa and magnaporthe grisea.cryphonectria parasitica, the causative agent of chestnut blight, has proven to be a tractable experimental system for studying fungal pathogenesis. moreover, the development of infectious cdna clones of c. parasitica hypoviruses, capable of attenuating fungal virulence, has provided the opportunity to examine molecular aspects of fungal plant pathogenesis in the context of biological control. in order to establish a genomic base for future studies of c. parasitica, the authors have analysed a c ...200312949163
calcium gradient dependence of neurospora crassa hyphal growth.a tip-high cytoplasmic calcium gradient has been identified as a requirement for hyphal growth in the fungus neurospora crassa. the ca2+ gradient is less steep compared to wall vesicle, wall incorporation and vesicular ca2+ gradients, but this can be explained by ca2+ diffusion. analysis of the relation between the rate of hyphal growth and the spatial distribution of tip-localized calcium indicates that hyphal growth rates depend upon the tip-localized calcium concentration. it is not the steep ...200312949173
the genetic basis of cellular morphogenesis in the filamentous fungus neurospora crassa.cellular polarity is a fundamental property of every cell. due to their extremely fast growth rate (>/=1 microm/s) and their highly elongated form, filamentous fungi represent a prime example of polarized growth and are an attractive model for the analysis of fundamental mechanisms underlying cellular polarity. to identify the critical components that contribute to polarized growth, we developed a large-scale genetic screen for the isolation of conditional mutants defective in this process in th ...200312960438
vivid is a flavoprotein and serves as a fungal blue light photoreceptor for photoadaptation.blue light regulates many physiological and developmental processes in fungi. most of the blue light responses in the ascomycete neurospora crassa are dependent on the two blue light regulatory proteins white collar (wc)-1 and -2. wc-1 has recently been shown to be the first fungal blue light photoreceptor. in the present study, we characterize the neurospora protein vivid. vivid shows a partial sequence similarity with plant blue light photoreceptors. in addition, we found that vivid non-covale ...200312970196
mmm1p spans both the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes and contains distinct domains for targeting and foci formation.in the yeast saccharomyces cerevisiae, the integral membrane protein mmm1p is required for maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and retention of mitochondrial dna (mtdna). mmm1p localizes to discrete foci on mitochondria that are adjacent to mtdna nucleoids in the matrix, raising the possibility that this protein plays a direct role in organizing, replicating, or segregating mtdna. although mmm1p has been shown to cross the outer membrane with its c terminus facing the cytoplasm, the location ...200312972421
