Genes responsive to the alteration of polyamine biosynthesis in Neurospora crassa
Wild-type Neurospora crassa grown in minimal medium was exposed to -difluormethyl ornithine (DFMO), a specific inhibitor of ornithine-decarboxylase (ODC-ase) activity. Protein-synthesis rates impaired by DFMO were restored by the addition of spermidine. The pattern on SDS-acrylamide gels displayed t...
