Abstract excerpt
In Neurospora crassa, expression of the laccase gene is induced by treatment with the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide (CHX). This expression is mediated by CPC1, which acts as a general transcriptional activator when mycelia are treated with CHX or starved for any one of the amino acids. A laccase-derepressed mutant, lah-1, shows pleiotropic deficiencies in growth, hyphal morphology, CHX sensitivity,...
