MOORE, D. 1984. Developmental biology of the Coprims cinereus carpophore: Metabolic regulation in relation to cap morphogenesis. Experimental Mycology 8, 283-297. Maturation of the cap of Coprinus cinereus is accompanied by a specific pattern of changes in enzyme activities and metabolite levels. The most significant changes result in amplification of activity in the tricarboxylic acid cycle an...

Mushrooms, such as Coprinus cinereus, possess large families of pheromones and G-protein-coupled receptors that are sequestered at the B mating-type locus and whose function is to confer vast numbers of different mating types. This ability results from complex patterns of cognate and noncognate pheromone/receptor pairings, which potentially offer a unique insight into the molecular interaction ...

We have examined the stability of duplicated DNA sequences in the sexual phase of the life cycle of the basidiomycete fungus, Coprinus cinereus. We observed premeiotic de novo methylation in haploid nuclei containing either a triplication, a tandem duplication, or an ectopic duplication. Methylation changes were not observed in unique sequences. Repeated sequences underwent methylation changes ...

Spent culture medium contained five electrophoretically distinct proteolytic activities when Coprinus c;llereus was grown in culture medium which contained protein as sole source of nitrogen. The enzymes were separated by ultrafiltration, gel filtration and ionexchange chromatography into two groups designated EL and AD fractions. The EL fraction passed through a DE-52 column with eluant, and c...
