Changes in Intracellular pH Are Not Correlated with the Circadian Rhythm of Neurospora.
نویسنده
چکیده
Intracellular pH (pH(i)) was measured during the circadian cycle of Neurospora. Internal pH of Neurospora cultures in liquid medium was assayed by the 5,5-dimethyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione method and gave values for pH(i) which were similar to those previously obtained by other workers using pH-microelectrodes with agar-grown cultures. Cytoplasmic pH changed in liquid medium cultures, but these changes were not related to the circadian clock. Furthermore, treatments which raise or lower pH(i) do not phase-shift the circadian rhythm. These results indicate that pH(i) plays no specific role in regulating the circadian clock of Neurospora.

متن کاملMutation of the cys-9 gene, which encodes thioredoxin reductase, affects the circadian conidiation rhythm in Neurospora crassa.
Ten cysteine auxotrophs of Neurospora crassa were examined with regard to the period lengths of their circadian conidiation rhythms. One of the these cysteine auxotrophs, cys-9, showed dramatic changes in the circadian conidiation rhythm. At 10 microM methionine, the cys-9 mutant had a period length that was 5 hr shorter than that of the wild-type strain during the first 3 days after transfer t...

The mycelial growth front of the band strain of Neurospora grown on a solid surface exhibits a circadian rhythm of conidiation. Enzyme assays on extracts from that mycelium have shown that the activities of 6 of 13 enzymes (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nucleosidase, isocitrate lyase, citrate synthase, glyceraldehydephosphate dehydrogenase, phosphogluconate dehydrogenase, and glucose-6-phos...

The 2017 Nobel Prize for medicine was awarded the biological clock Scientist, which shows the importance of this phenomenon in the life of living organisms. The circadian Rhythm (CR) through the created internal “clock” is responsible for regulating the daily performance of different organs of the body. The central body clock is the key factor to creating and maintaining this CR. External optic...
متن کاملAssignment of an essential role for the Neurospora frequency gene in circadian entrainment to temperature cycles.
Circadian systems include slave oscillators and central pacemakers, and the cores of eukaryotic circadian clocks described to date are composed of transcription and translation feedback loops (TTFLs). In the model system Neurospora, normal circadian rhythmicity requires a TTFL in which a White Collar complex (WCC) activates expression of the frequency (frq) gene, and the FRQ protein feeds back ...
