Abstract excerpt
A survey of 12 genetically distinct, heat-sensitive mutants of Neurospora revealed three (un-1, un-3, and un-17) that are specifically deficient in the superoxide dismutase (SOD) isozymes SOD-2 (mitochondrial), SOD-3 (mitochondrial), SOD-4 (exocellular), respectively. Genetic analysis of the three mutants indicates that the enzyme deficiencies are probably the cause of the heat-sensitive phenotype. The phenotypes...
