Identification and manipulation of Neurospora crassa genes involved in sensitivity to furfural
Background Biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass are a viable alternative to fossil fuels required for transportation. Following plant biomass pretreatment, the furan derivative furfural is present at concentrations which are inhibitory to yeasts.

DCAF26, an adaptor protein of Cul4-based E3, is essential for DNA methylation in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
DNA methylation is involved in gene silencing and genome stability in organisms from fungi to mammals. Genetic studies in Neurospora crassa previously showed that the CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase regulates DNA methylation via histone H3K9 trimethylation.

Application of Neurospora crassa in the Treatment of Waste [PDF]
The nutrient requirements of the fast growing filamentous fungi Neurospora crassa to convert animal waste into an edible product containing high amounts of protein were assessed by selectively excluding nutrients from supplemental solutions of Vogel ...

This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Use of Neurospora crassa as fungus model for systems biology of Moniliophthora perniciosa hyphae proteins: case study of polygalacturonases : S01P13 [PDF]
Moniliophthora perniciosa, the fungus responsible for the witches' broom disease, brought serious problems to cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) cultivation in the infected areas such as in Southern Bahia, Brazil.

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...
