Abstract excerpt
Genetic evidence suggests that the activity of the native QUTA transcription activator protein is negated by the action of the QUTR transcription repressor protein. When Aspergillus nidulans was transformed with plasmids containing the wild-type qutA gene, transformants that constitutively expressed the quinate pathway enzymes were isolated. The constitutive phenotype of these transformants was associated with an...
