Cross-pathway regulation: tryptophan-mediated control of histidine and arginine biosynthetic enzymes in Neurospora crassa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Neurospora crassa, the starvation of tryptophan mutants for tryptophan resulted in the derepression of tryptophan, histidine, and arginine biosynthetic enzymes. This tryptophan-mediated derepression of histidine and arginine biosynthetic enzymes occurred despite the fact that the tryptophan-starved cells had a higher intracellular concentration of histidine and arginine than did nonstarved cells.

Inhibition of aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases and the regulation of amino acid biosynthetic enzymes in Neurospora crassa.
Growth conditions that result in the accumulation of the tryptophan intermediate indoleglycerol phosphate or of the histidine intermediate imidazoleglycerol phosphate cause mycelia of Neurospora crassa to exhibit an immediate and sustained increase in the differential rate at which the biosynthetic enzymes of the tryptophan, histidine, and arginine pathways are synthesized. These accumulated in...
متن کاملN-acetyl-L-glutamate synthase of Neurospora crassa. Characteristics, localization, regulation, and genetic control.
N-Acetylglutamate synthase, an early enzyme of the arginine pathway, provides acetylglutamate for ornithine synthesis in the so-called "acetylglutamate cycle." Because acetylglutamate is regenerated as ornithine is formed, the enzyme has only a catalytic or anaplerotic role in the pathway, maintaining "bound" acetyl groups during growth. We have detected this enzyme in crude extracts of Neurosp...
متن کاملBioinformatic and Biochemical Characterizations of C–S Bond Formation and Cleavage Enzymes in the Fungus Neurospora crassa Ergothioneine Biosynthetic Pathway
Ergothioneine is a histidine thiol derivative. Its mycobacterial biosynthetic pathway has five steps (EgtA-E catalysis) with two novel reactions: a mononuclear nonheme iron enzyme (EgtB) catalyzed oxidative C-S bond formation and a PLP-mediated C-S lyase (EgtE) reaction. Our bioinformatic and biochemical analyses indicate that the fungus Neurospora crassa has a more concise ergothioneine biosyn...
متن کاملIn vivo regulation of intermediate reactions in the pathway of tryptophan biosynthesis in Neurospora crassa.
The in vivo regulation of intermediate reactions in the pathway of tryptophan synthesis in Neurospora crassa was examined in a double mutant (tr-2, tr-3) which lacks the functions of the first and last enzymes in the pathway from chorismic acid to tryptophan. The double mutant can convert anthranilic acid to indole and indole-3-glycerol, and the production of these indolyl compounds by germinat...
متن کاملThe detection of reverse mutations at the mtr locus in Neurospora and evidence for possible intragenic (second site) suppressor mutations.
mtr mutants of Neurospora crassa are resistant to the amino acid analogs Ty-tethyl-tryptophan (4MT) and para-fluorophenylalanine (FPA) . It has been suggested that the mtr locus is the structural gene for a permease which facilitates the uptake of aromatic amino acids (LESTER 1966; STADLER 1966). The products of forward mutation at mtr can be selected on media supplemented with either 4MT ar FP...
