Defining individual size in the model filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa.
It is challenging to apply the tenets of individuality to filamentous fungi: a fungal mycelium can contain millions of genetically diverse but totipotent nuclei, each capable of founding new mycelia. Moreover, a single mycelium can potentially stretch over kilometres, and it is unlikely that its distant parts share resources or have the same fitness. Here, we directly measure how a single mycel...
متن کاملMOLECULAR ANALYSIS OF THE SULFUR REGULATORY CIRCUIT OF NEUROSPORA CRASSA
The sulfur regulatory circuit of the filamentous fungus, Neurospora crassa, consists of a set of unlinked structural genes which encode sulfur catabolic and two major regulatory genes which govern their expression. The cys-3 regulatory gene encode a transacting regulatory protein which activates the expression of cys-14 and ars, whereas the other regulatory genes Scon-l and Scon-2 appear to...
متن کاملMechanism of the Neurospora Circadian Clock, a FREQUENCY-centric View
Circadian clocks are self-sustaining timekeepers found in almost all organisms on earth. The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa is a preeminent model for eukaryotic circadian clocks. Investigations of the Neurospora circadian clock system have led to elucidation of circadian clock regulatory mechanisms that are common to all eukaryotes. In this work, we will focus on the Neurospora circadian ...
متن کاملConstruction of genomic libraries from Neurospora crassa with the BigEasyTM v2.0 Linear Cloning System
Introduction The complete genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa has been difficult to assemble, because a large amount of AT-rich “genomic dark matter” is lost from traditional shotgun, cosmid, and BAC libraries (1-3). This situation is typical of most repeat-rich eukaryotic genomes. Various novel direct sequencing approaches promise to reduce some of these errors. However...
متن کاملBiochemical characterization of an L-Xylulose reductase from Neurospora crassa.
An l-xylulose reductase identified from the genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as a His(6) tag fusion protein, purified, and characterized. The enzyme may be used in the production of xylitol from the major pentose components of hemicellulosic waste, d-xylose and l-arabinose.
