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 of a transposon was identified by testing spontaneous nit2 mutants for the presence of new copies of Gulliver or TOC1,...
