We present an analysis of over 1,100 of the∼ 10,000 predicted proteins encoded by the
genome sequence of the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. Seven major areas of …

Light is one of the most important environmental factors for orientation of almost all
organisms on Earth. Whereas light sensing is of crucial importance in plants to optimize light …

Neurospora crassa is a central organism in the history of twentieth-century genetics,
biochemistry and molecular biology. Here, we report a high-quality draft sequence of the N …

Acetohydroxyacid synthase (EC 4.1. 3.18) catalyses the first reaction in the pathway for
synthesis of the branched-chain amino acids. The enzyme is inhibited by several …

The high capacity of the secretion machinery of filamentous fungi has been widely exploited
for the production of homologous and heterologous proteins; however, our knowledge of the …

Opsins are a class of retinal-binding, seven transmembrane helix proteins that function as
light-responsive ion pumps or sensory receptors. Previously, genes encoding opsins had …

The Fungal Genetics Stock Center (FGSC) was established in 1960 following the
recommendation of the Committee on the Maintenance of Genetic Stocks of the Genetics …

During sexual development, Neurospora crassa inactivates genes in duplicated DNA
segments by a hypermutation process, repeat-induced point mutation (RIP). RIP introduces …

Neurospora crassa osmosensitive (os) mutants are sensitive to high osmolarity and
therefore are unable to grow on medium containing 4% NaCl. We found that os-2 and os-5 …

▪ Abstract Over the course of the past 40 years Neurospora has become a well-known and
uniquely tractable model system for the analysis of the molecular basis of eukaryotic …
