  • Title: Expression of an Escherichia coli beta-galactosidase fusion gene in Aspergillus nidulans.
    Author: van Gorcom RF, Pouwels PH, Goosen T, Visser J, van den Broek HW, Hamer JE, Timberlake WE, van den Hondel CA.
    Journal: Gene; 1985; 40(1):99-106. PubMed ID: 3005133.
    Abstract:
    We inserted in frame the Escherichia coli lacZ gene into the protein-coding region of the Aspergillus nidulans trpC gene and introduced the resultant fused gene into the A. nidulans genome. A functional beta Gal fusion protein was produced. Removal of the trpC transcription and translation initiation sequences from the fusion gene abolished production of the fusion protein, showing that expression is dependent on these sequences. Thus, lacZ fusions should be of use for estimating gene activity in a. nidulans.
