In Neurospora crassa the qa-2 gene, which encodes catabolic dehydroquinase, is under positive control exerted by the inducer quinic acid and an activator protein encoded in the closely linked qa-1 gene. In order to determine if this regulatory mechanism is maintained when the qa-2 gene is cloned on
A Neurospora gene bank in plasmid pRK9 was used to complement pyrimidine auxotrophs in E. coli. Two plasmids were obtained that complement a pyrF mutant of E. coli. These plasmids hybridise to Neurospora DNA and transform a pyr-4 strain of Neurospora. The promoter used in expressing the orotidine 5'
A number of drug-related gene expression systems are available for controlling target gene transcription through the use of small-molecule inducing compounds. While the utility of such systems has been demonstrated in vitro and in transgenic mice, recent improvements are likely to make these systems
