Abstract excerpt
The Neurospora crassa gene NcZrg-17 encodes a membrane protein with homology to the cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family of transporters. We analyzed the phenotypic and functional characteristics of ΔNcZrg-17 and the implications of these characteristics in vivo. The ΔNcZrg-17 mutant showed several phenotypes that are zinc suppressible such as reduced growth rate, short aerial hyphae, increased hyphal...
