  • Title: Regulation of phosphate metabolism in Neurospora crassa: isolation of mutants deficient in ther repressible alkaline phosphatase.
    Author: Gleason MK, Metzenberg RL.
    Journal: Genetics; 1974 Oct; 78(2):645-59. PubMed ID: 4280980.
    Abstract:
    Mutants of Neurospora crassa have been isolated that lack the repressible alkaline phosphatase, but, unlike nuc-1 and nuc-2 mutants, are able to make the repressible acid phosphatase and the repressible phosphate permease under conditions of derepression (phosphate deprivation). The new mutants, called pho-2, map in Linkage Group V, and are unlinked to the putative control mutants, nuc-1, nuc-2-pcon(c), and preg(c). Three of the pho-2 mutants do not make detectable amounts of repressible alkaline phosphatase, but the fourth makes about 1% of the level found in wild type. The small amount of alkaline phosphatase made by this strain appears to be qualitatively similar or identical to the wild-type enzyme, as judged by electrophoretic mobility, heat stability, and titration with specific antibody to the wild-type enzyme. Several revertants of this strain have been examined in the same way, and the alkaline phosphatase of these strains also appears to be qualitatively normal. Reversion events can occur at, or near, the pho-2 locus, but also occur in at least two unlinked sites (suppressor mutations). One suppressor maps very close to nuc-1.
