Abstract excerpt
In Aspergillus nidulans, the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in ambient pH is mediated by the PacC zinc finger transcriptional regulator. At alkaline ambient pH, PacC is proteolytically processed to a functional form serving as an activator of alkaline-expressed genes and a repressor of acid-expressed genes. This activation of PacC occurs in response to a signal mediated by the products of...
