Abstract excerpt
Rhizoxin, an antibiotic, exhibits potent anti-mitotic activity against most eucaryotic cells including those of higher vertebrates, plants and fungi by binding to beta-tubulin. The benA gene of three independently isolated rhizoxin-resistant (Rhir) mutants of Aspergillus nidulans was cloned, sequenced and compared with that of the wild-type, rhizoxin-sensitive (Rhis) strain. In all three Rhir mutants, the AAC...
