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...

Protein-synthesis rates impaired by DFMO were restored by the addition of spermidine. The pattern on SDS-acrylamide gels displayed three newly synthesized polypeptides, p27, p31 and p99 after DFMO action in the absence of exogenous polyamine. The ODC-ase mutant (spe-1) grown in spermidine-supplemented medium did not show an induced polypeptide pattern. The lack of ODC-ase activity promotes the expression of p27- and p31-coding genes in both strains but transcription of p31 gene is shut-off after spermidine addition. Both transcripts are also accumulated after exposure to low cycloheximide doses or nutrient starvation. Another cycloheximide-inducible gene coding for p70 is also expressed under DFMO-treatment. © 1990.
