In Neurospora crassa, the phosphate-metabolizing enzymes are made during phosphate starvation, but not under phosphate sufficiency. The synthesis of these enzymes is controlled by three regulatory genes: pcon-nuc-2, preg and nuc-1, pcon-nuc-2 and preg are closely linked. A model of the hierarchical relationships among these regulatory genes is presented. Studies of double mutants and revertants confirm several predictions of the model. It has been found that nuc-2 (null) and pcon-c (constitutive) mutations reside in the same cistron. preg-c (constitutive) mutations are epistatic to nuc-2 mutations. nuc-1 (null) mutations are epistatic to all others.
在粗糙脉孢菌中,磷酸盐代谢酶是在磷酸盐饥饿期间产生的,但在磷酸盐充足的情况下则不会产生。这些酶的合成受三个调控基因控制:pcon-nuc-2、preg和nuc-1,pcon-nuc-2和preg紧密连锁。本文提出了这些调控基因之间层次关系的模型。对双突变体和回复体的研究证实了该模型的几个预测。已发现nuc-2(无效)和pcon-c(组成型)突变位于同一顺反子中。preg-c(组成型)突变对nuc-2突变呈上位性。nuc-1(无效)突变对所有其他突变呈上位性。
