Sexual development genes of Neurospora crassa.
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa undergoes a complex program of sexual development to form a fruiting body composed of several kinds of specialized tissue. Subtractive hybridization was used to isolate genes that are expressed preferentially during this sexual phase. Many such sexual development (sdv) genes were identified in a cosmid library of Neurospora genomic DNA. Fourteen of the s...
متن کاملSpontaneous mutation during the sexual cycle of Neurospora crassa.
The DNA sequences of 42 spontaneous mutations of the mtr gene in Neurospora crassa have been determined. The mutants were selected among sexual spores to represent mutations arising in the sexual cycle. Three sexual-cycle-specific mutational classes are described: hotspot mutants, spontaneous repeat-induced point mutation (RIPs) and mutations occurring during a mutagenic phase of the sexual cyc...
متن کاملMutants affecting thymidine metabolism in Neurospora crassa.
When (14)C-thymidine labeled only in the ring is administered to Neurospora crassa, the majority of the recovered label is found in the ribonucleic acid (RNA). Three mutants were isolated in which different steps are blocked in the pathway that converts the pyrimidine ring of thymidine to an RNA precursor. Evidence from genetic, nutritional, and accumulation studies with the three mutants shows...
متن کاملA putative rhamnogalacturonase required for sexual development of Neurospora crassa.
In previous work, the asd-I (ascus development) gene of the filamentous fingus Neurospora crassa was identified as a gene expressed preferentially during the sexual cycle and shown to be essential for normal sexual development. The asd-I gene has been sequenced and further characterized. It contains two introns, the first of which is in-frame and inefficiently or differentially spliced. The pre...
متن کاملGene Expression Differences among Three Neurospora Species Reveal Genes Required for Sexual Reproduction in Neurospora crassa
Many fungi form complex three-dimensional fruiting bodies, within which the meiotic machinery for sexual spore production has been considered to be largely conserved over evolutionary time. Indeed, much of what we know about meiosis in plant and animal taxa has been deeply informed by studies of meiosis in Saccharomyces and Neurospora. Nevertheless, the genetic basis of fruiting body developmen...
