The regulatory networks of gene expression during the sexual differentiation of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as analyzed by mutants for gametogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Cells of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii differentiate into gametes under conditions of nitrogen (N) starvation, expressing the genes for the N-adaptation program and the gamete program. To investigate the regulatory networks of transcription among the N-starvation-inducible genes, we examined the gene expression in dif mutants, affecting gametic differentiation. In a conditional mutant, dif2, the cells remained...
