Abstract excerpt
The Aspergillus nidulans xlnR gene encodes a Zn(2)Cys(6) transcription activator necessary for the synthesis of the main xylanolytic enzymes, i.e. endo-xylanases X(22), X(24) and X(34), and beta-xilosidase XlnD. Expression of xlnR is not sufficient for induction of genes encoding the xylanolytic complex, the presence of xylose is absolutely required. It has been established previously that the wide-domain carbon...
