چکیده
A possible alternate vital role of the structural gene for reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-nitrate reductase in Aspergillus nidulans was tested for and found to be absent in a significant number of haploid and diploid strains.

Characterization of the reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-nitrate reductase of Aspergillus nidulans.
The reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-nitrate oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.6.2) from Aspergillus nidulans was purified over 200-fold by use of salt fractionation, gel filtration, and ion-exchange chromatography. The purified enzyme was specific for NADPH and catalyzed reduction of nitrate, cytochrome c from isolated mitochondria of Aspergillus, and mammalian cytochrome c. An...
متن کاملAmmonium regulation in Aspergillus nidulans.
l-Glutamate uptake, thiourea uptake, and methylammonium uptake and the intracellular ammonium concentration were measured in wild-type and mutant cells of Aspergillus nidulans held in various concentrations of ammonium and urea. The levels of l-glutamate uptake, thiourea uptake, nitrate reductase, and hypoxanthine dehydrogenase activity are determined by the extracellular ammonium concentration...
متن کاملRestoration of NET formation by gene therapy in CGD controls aspergillosis.
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) patients have impaired nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase function, resulting in poor antimicrobial activity of neutrophils, including the inability to generate neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Invasive aspergillosis is the leading cause of death in patients with CGD; it is unclear how neutrophils control Aspergillus species in ...
متن کاملVerifying of Participation of Nitric Oxide in Morphine Place Conditioning in the Rat Medial Septum Using Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate-Diaphorase (NADPH-d)
Background: Role of nitric oxide (NO) in morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP) has already been proposed in the rat medial septum (MS), but no molecular evidence has been provided to clear this fact. Methods: Effects of intraseptal injections of L-arginine and/or NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) on morphine place conditioning in Wistar rats were examined. Morphine (2.5-7....
متن کاملRole of molybdenum in nitrate reduction by chlorella.
Molybdenum is absolutely required for the nitrate-reducing activity of the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nitrate reductase complex isolated from Chlorella fusca. The whole enzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nitrate reductase is formed by cells grown in the absence of added molybdate, but only its first activity (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide diaphorase) is functional. The second a...
