Isolation of the Chlamydomonas regulatory gene NIT2 by transposon tagging.
Genetics - 1 Jul 1993
Schnell R A, Lefebvre P A
Abstract excerpt
Genetic evidence suggests that the NIT2 gene of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii encodes a positive regulator of the nitrate-assimilation pathway. To learn more about the function of the NIT2 gene product, we isolated the gene using a transposon-tagging strategy. A nit2 mutation caused by the insertion...
