  • Title: The regulation of hexokinase and phosphoglucomutase activity in Aspergillus nidulans.
    Author: Dunn-Coleman NS, Pateman JA.
    Journal: Mol Gen Genet; 1979 Mar 09; 171(1):69-73. PubMed ID: 375022.
    Abstract:
    The levels of glucose-6-phosphate and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase in wildtype cells of Aspergillus nidulans varied with the carbon and nitrogen source. In general, hexokinase activity did not vary with carbon or nitrogen source. The ammonium derepressed mutant amrA1 had only 50% of the wildtype level of hexokinase. Phosphoglucomutase activity was low in wildtype cells grown with nitrate, but high in cells grown with ammonium when glucose was the carbon source. A non-inducible mutant, nirA-1, in the regulatory gene for nitrate reductase, had high phosphoglucomutase activity when grown with nitrate or ammonium. A constitutive mutant nirAc1, in the regulatory gene for nitrate reductase had low phosphoglucomutase activity when grown with nitrate or ammonium. The mutants nir-1 and nirAc1 are recessive and semi-dominant respectively for abnormal phosphoglucomutase activity.
