The Aspergillus nidulans lysF gene encodes homoaconitase, an enzyme involved in the fungus-specific lysine biosynthesis pathway.

Molecular & general genetics : MGG - 1 Jul 1997

Weidner G, Steffan B, Brakhage A A

Abstract excerpt

In filamentous fungi, lysine is synthesized via the alpha-aminoadipate pathway. In order to gain insight into this fungus-specific pathway (to date, no genes for enzymes of this pathway in filamentous fungi have been cloned) the lysine auxotrophic mutant LysF88 of Aspergillus nidulans was studied...
