Spermidine determines the sensitivity to the calmodulin antagonist, chlorpromazine, for the circadian conidiation rhythm but not for the mycelial growth in Neurospora crassa.

Abstract excerpt

The gene that suppresses the phenotype of the cpz-2 mutation, which results in changing the sensitivity to chlorpromazine in relation to mycelial growth and circadian rhythms, was cloned in Neurospora crassa. This gene is not the cpz-2 gene itself but rather is identical to the spe-3 gene that en...
