Carbon regulation of penicillin biosynthesis in Aspergillus nidulans: a minor effect of mutations in creB and creC.

Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the Aspergillus nidulans ipnA gene is under carbon regulation. Loss-of-function mutations in creB or creC do not cause full derepression of ipnA transcript levels in sucrose-grown mycelia and do not elevate repressed penicillin levels, indicating that neither of these genes plays a major regulatory role in penicillin biosynthesis. However, these mutations reduce external pH acidification,...
