Abstract excerpt
The chromosome VIII translocation breakpoint of the areB-404 translocation, selected for its ability to activate the cryptic nitrogen metabolism regulatory gene areB, and the mutation glcD-100 both lead to loss of mitochondrial FAD-dependent sn-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in Aspergillus nidulans. These two lesions therefore define glcD, a second gene (in addition to glcB) where mutation can result in loss...
