Expression of the structural genes of the nitrogen control circuit of Neurospora crassa is regulated by the positive-acting nit-2 control gene and by the negative-acting nmr control gene. Nitrate reductase is expressed in a constitutive fashion in nmr mutant strains, which appear to be largely insen

Growth of Neurospora crassa on media containing NH4+ leads to the repression of a variety of permeases and alternative pathways which would generate NH4+, so called "ammonium repression." The mutant am2 which lacks NADP-GDH is not subject to ammonium repression of nitrate reductase or urea permease,
The synthesis of thymine 7-hydroxylase, an alpha-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenase, is subject both to nitrogen metabolite repression and to oxygen repression, while synthesis of the other pyrimidine salvage pathway dioxygenase, pyrimidine deoxyribonucleoside 2'-hydroxylase, is subject to neither.
