Neurospora crassa ve-1 affects asexual conidiation.
The velvet factor of the homothallic fungus Aspergillus nidulans promotes sexual fruiting body formation. The encoding veA gene is conserved among fungi, including the ascomycete Neurospora crassa. There, the orthologous ve-1 gene encodes a deduced protein with high similarity to A. nidulans VeA. Cross-complementation experiments suggest that both the promoter and the coding sequence of N. cras...
متن کاملActivator-independent gene expression in Neurospora crassa.
A transgenic position effect that causes activator-independent gene expression has been described previously for three Neurospora crassa phosphate-repressible genes. We report analogous findings for two additional positively regulated genes, qa-2+ and ars-1+, indicating that such position effects are not limited to genes involved in phosphorus metabolism. In addition, we have characterized a nu...
متن کاملEnzyme Activities during the Asexual Cycle of Neurospora Crassa
Three enzymes, (a) nicotinamide adenine diphosphate-dependent glutamic dehydrogenase (NAD enzyme), (b) nictoinamide adenine triphosphate-dependent glutamic dehydrogenase (NADP enzyme), and (c) nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotidase (NADase), were measured in separate extracts of Neurospora crassa grown in Vogel's medium N and medium N + glutamate. Specific activities and total units per culture of...
متن کاملCalcineurin Subunits A and B Interact to Regulate Growth and Asexual and Sexual Development in Neurospora crassa.
Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase in eukaryotes that consists of a catalytic subunit A and a regulatory subunit B. Previous studies in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa had suggested that the catalytic subunit of calcineurin might be an essential protein. We generated N. crassa strains expressing the A (cna-1) and B (cnb-1) subunit genes under the regulati...
متن کاملDevelopmental origins of life history: growth, productivity, and reproduction.
There is now much evidence that early life undernutrition elevates risk of diseases like cardiovascular disease. Less clear is whether the underlying developmental plasticity in metabolism and physiology evolved to serve an adaptive function, beyond these effects on pathophysiology. This review builds from principles of life history theory to propose a functional model linking early environment...
