  • Title: Effect of chloramphenicol and ethidium bromide on the level of ornithine carbamoyltransferase in Neurospora crassa.
    Author: Zerez CR, Weiss RL.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1986 May; 166(2):679-82. PubMed ID: 2939061.
    Abstract:
    The specific activity of the nuclear-gene-encoded, mitochondrial arginine biosynthetic enzyme ornithine carbamoyltransferase (EC 2.1.3.3) in Neurospora crassa was elevated in mycelia treated with chloramphenicol or ethidium bromide. The increase in specific activity was caused by an increase in the number of mature enzyme molecules rather than by the activation of a preexisting enzyme. Chloramphenicol and ethidium bromide appeared to act indirectly via arginine-mediated derepression. However, derepression did not appear to result from a drug-mediated decrease in the arginine pool.
