Fructose transport in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
A specific fructose uptake system (Km = 0.4 mM) appeared in Neurospora crassa when glucose-grown mycelia were starved. Fructose uptake had kinetics different from those of intramycelial fructose phosphorylation, and uptake appeared to be carrier mediated. The only sugar which competitively inhibited fructose uptake was L-sorbose (Ki = 9 mM). Glucose, 2-

Genetic architecture of a reinforced, postmating, reproductive isolation barrier between Neurospora species indicates evolution via natural selection. [PDF]
A role for natural selection in reinforcing premating barriers is recognized, but selection for reinforcement of postmating barriers remains controversial.

The coding and noncoding transcriptome of Neurospora crassa
Background Long non protein coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been identified in many different organisms and cell types. Emerging examples emphasize the biological importance of these RNA species but their regulation and functions remain poorly understood.

Polyamine transport in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Polyamine transport in Neurospora crassa is concentrative and energy dependent in a dilute buffer. The saturable systems governing the uptake of putrescine (Km = 0.6 mM), spermidine (Km = ca. 0.24 mM), and spermine (Km = 0.07 mM) share components, as indicated by mutual inhibition among the polyamines.

Calcineurin Subunits A and B Interact to Regulate Growth and Asexual and Sexual Development in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Calcineurin is a calcium/calmodulin dependent protein phosphatase in eukaryotes that consists of a catalytic subunit A and a regulatory subunit B. Previous studies in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa had suggested that the catalytic subunit of ...

Methylxanthines Modulate Circadian Period Length Independently of the Action of Phosphodiesterase
In Neurospora crassa, caffeine and other methylxanthines are known to inhibit phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity, leading to augmented cAMP levels. In this organism, it has also been shown that the addition of these drugs significantly lengthens the ...

The guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 regulates conidial germination through Gα proteins in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
Heterotrimeric G protein signaling is essential for normal hyphal growth in the filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa. We have previously demonstrated that the non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor RIC8 acts upstream of the Gα proteins GNA-1 and

Arrangement and symmetry of the fungal E3BP-containing core of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a multienzyme complex connecting glycolysis to mitochondrial oxidation of pyruvate. Cryo-EM analysis of PDC from Neurospora crassa reveals localization of fungi-specific protein X (PX) and confirms that it ...

The bZIP Transcription Factor HAC-1 Is Involved in the Unfolded Protein Response and Is Necessary for Growth on Cellulose in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
High protein secretion capacity in filamentous fungi requires an extremely efficient system for protein synthesis, folding and transport. When the folding capacity of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is exceeded, a pathway known as the unfolded protein ...
