Abstract excerpt
Mucor circinelloides responds to blue light by activating the biosynthesis of carotenoids. Gene crgA acts as a repressor of this light-regulated process, as its inactivation leads to overaccumulation of carotenoids in both the dark and the light. The predicted CrgA protein contains different recognizable structural domains, including a RING-finger zinc-binding motif, several glutamine-rich regions, a putative...
