13. Metabolic control and autogenous regulation of nit-3, the nitrate reductase structural gene of Neurospora crassa.
In Neurospora crassa, the expression of nit-3, the structural gene which encodes nitrate reductase, is highly regulated and requires both nitrate induction and nitrogen catabolite derepression. The major nitrogen regulatory gene, nit-2, acts in a positive fashion to turn on the expression of nit-3 and other nitrogen-related genes during nitrogen derepression

14. Transcriptional regulation of the Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1 nitA gene encoding a nitrilase.
The 1.4-kb downstream region from a nitrilase gene (nitA) of an actinomycete Rhodococcus rhodochrous J1, which is industrially in use, was found to be required for the isovaleronitrile-dependent induction of nitrilase synthesis in experiments using a Rhodococcus-Escherichia coli shuttle vector pK4 in a Rhodococcus strain. Sequence analysis of the 1.4-kb regi

15. nit-2, the major nitrogen regulatory gene of Neurospora crassa, encodes a protein with a putative zinc finger DNA-binding domain.
The nitrogen regulatory circuit of Neurospora crassa consists of a set of unlinked structural genes which specify various nitrogen catabolic enzymes plus control genes and metabolic effectors which regulate their expression. The positive-acting nit-2 regulatory gene is required to turn on the expression of the nitrogen catabolic enzymes during conditions of

16. Complementation of areA- regulatory gene mutations of Aspergillus nidulans by the heterologous regulatory gene nit-2 of Neurospora crassa.
Loss-of-function mutations in the regulatory gene areA of Aspergillus nidulans prevent the utilization of a wide variety of nitrogen sources. The phenotypes of nit-2 mutants of Neurospora crassa suggest that this gene may be analogous to the areA gene. Transformation has been used to introduce a plasmid containing the nit-2 gene into A. nidulans. The nit-2 g

17. Salt-Sensitive Mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii Isolated after Insertional Tagging.
We describe the isolation of salt-sensitive Chlamydomonas reinhardtii mutants by insertional mutagenesis using the nitrate reductase (Nit1) gene. The plasmid pMN24, containing Nit1, was used for transformation of 305CW15 (nit1 cw15 mt+), and transformants were selected for complementation of the nit- phenotype. From 6875 nit+ colonies, four transformants (S4

18. The Nitrilase ZmNIT2 Converts Indole-3-Acetonitrile to Indole-3-Acetic Acid1
We isolated two nitrilase genes, ZmNIT1 and ZmNIT2, from maize (Zea mays) that share 75% sequence identity on the amino acid level. Despite the relatively high homology to Arabidopsis NIT4, ZmNIT2 shows no activity toward β-cyano-alanine, the substrate of Arabidopsis NIT4, but instead hydrolyzes indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA).

19. Cloning of Flagellar Genes in Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii by DNA Insertional Mutagenesis
Chlamydomonas is a popular genetic model system for studying many cellular processes. In this report, we describe a new approach to isolate Chlamydomonas genes using the cloned nitrate reductase gene (NIT1) as an insertional mutagen. A linearized plasmid containing the NIT1 gene was introduced into nit1 mutant cells by glass-bead transformation. Of 3000 Nit(

20. High-frequency nuclear transformation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
By using a method in which cell-wall-deficient Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cells were agitated in the presence of DNA, glass beads, and polyethylene glycol, nuclear transformation rates of approximately 10(3) transformants per micrograms of plasmid DNA were achieved. The nitrate reductase gene from wild-type Chlamydomonas was used to complement a mutation in t

21. Isolation and characterization of the nitrate reductase structural gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.
The nitrate reductase structural gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been isolated from a genomic library by using a nitrate reductase cDNA probe from barley. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analyses mapped the Chlamydomonas clone (B6a) to the nitrate reductase structural gene locus nit-1. Overlapping inserts cover a region of the genome of about

22. Nitrilase and Fhit homologs are encoded as fusion proteins in Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans
The tumor suppressor gene FHIT encompasses the common human chromosomal fragile site at 3p14.2 and numerous cancer cell biallelic deletions. To study Fhit function we cloned and characterized FHIT genes from Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans. Both genes code for fusion proteins in which the Fhit domain is fused with a novel domain showing ho

23. Molecular cloning, characterization, and nucleotide sequence of nit-6, the structural gene for nitrite reductase in Neurospora crassa.
The Neurospora crassa assimilatory nitrite reductase structural gene, nit-6, has been isolated. A cDNA library was constructed from poly(A)+ RNA isolated from Neurospora mycelia in which nitrate assimilation had been induced. This cDNA was ligated into lambda ZAP II (Stratagene) and amplified. This library was then screened with a polyclonal antibody specifi

24. Genetic characterization of the glutamate dehydrogenase gene (gdhA) of Salmonella typhimurium.
Salmonella typhimurium mutants, either devoid or glutamate dehydrogenase activity or having a thermolabile glutamate dehydrogenase protein, were used to identify the structural gene (gdhA) for this enzyme. Transductions showed that the mutations producing these phenotypes were linked to both the pncA and nit genes, placing the gdhA locus between 23 and 30 U
