Synthesis of polyamines in the germinating conidia of Aspergillus nidulans.
In a number of biological systems undergoing accelerated growth there is a rapid accumulation of polyamines, particularly spermidine, in parallel with RNA. One of the first events in such systems is a rapid increase in the activity of ornithine decarboxylase to as much as 100 times control values (Williams-Ashman, 1972). However, the increase in the amount of polyamines is much less marked, usu...
متن کاملAspergillus nidulans
Light-dependent conidiation in the filamentous ascomycete, Aspergillus nidulans, is contingent on the allelic state of the velvet (veA) gene. Light dependence is abolished by a mutation in this gene (veAl) , which allows conidiation to occur in the absence of light. We have isolated and characterized six extragenic suppressors of veAl that restore the light-dependent conidiation phenotype. Alle...
متن کاملMitosis in Aspergillus nidulans.
Mitosis in growing hyphae of haploid and diploid Aspergillus nidulans has been studied with the light microscope in Helly-fixed preparations. At the periphery of the nucleus a sharply defined granule is invariably found which has strong affinity for acid fuchsin. Mitosis begins with the duplication of this granule and the development inside the nucleus of a gradually lengthening fibre between t...
متن کاملEnzymatic lesions in methionine mutants of Aspergillus nidulans: role and regulation of an alternative pathway for cysteine and methionine synthesis.
In Aspergillus nidulans the pathway involving cystathionine formation is the main one for homocysteine synthesis. Mutants lacking cystathionine gamma-synthase or beta-cystathionase are auxotrophs suppressible by: (i) mutations in the main pathway of cysteine synthesis (cysA1, cysB1, and cysC1), (ii) mutations causing stimulation of cysteine catabolism (su101), and (iii) mutations in a presumed ...
متن کاملTransformation of Aspergillus nidulans
Aspergillus nidulans strain G191 was transformed to hygromycin resistance using plasmid pDH25, which contains the bacterial hygromycin B phosphotransferase gene (hph) fused to promoter elements of the A. nidulans trpC gene. Southern hybridizations of transformants revealed multiple, integrated copies of the vector. A pleiotropic effect conferring increased hygromycin B sensitivity was found to ...
