  • Transcriptional networks controlled by the fatty acid regulators FAR-1 and FAR-2

    Creator:
    Bredeweg, Erin L.
    Abstract:
    Fungi are capable of growth on a wide variety of carbon sources, both living and dead. They can produce an arsenal of enzymes and transporters for harvesting sugars, polysaccharides, amino acids, lipids and micronutrients from their environments [1]. Within the nucleus of a cell, transcription factors (TF) control whether genes...

  • Studies on the centromere-specific histone, CenH3, of Neurospora crassa and related ascomycetes

    Creator:
    Phatale, Pallavi A.
    Abstract:
    In eukaryotes, the defined loci on each chromosome, the centromeres, accomplish the critical task of correct cell division. In some organisms, centromeres are composed of a euchromatic central core region embedded in a stretch of heterochromatin and the inheritance and maintenance of centromeres are controlled by dynamic epigenetic phenomena. Although...

  • Building a bridge from chromosomes to microtubules in Neurospora crassa

    Creator:
    Friedman, Steven
    Abstract:
    DNA is often described as the “blueprint for life”. In eukaryotes this information is contained within linear chromosomes of varying size and number. During cell division, the chromosomes must be faithfully segregated into each daughter cell to avoid disease and sustain life. This process is carried out by the kinetochore...

  • Characterization of Neurospora crassa and Fusarium graminearum mutants defective in repeat-induced point mutation

    Creator:
    Pomraning, Kyle R.
    Abstract:
    Mutation of repetitive DNA by repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) is a process that occurs in many filamentous fungi of the Ascomycota during the sexual cycle. Concurrently, direct DNA repeats are often deleted by homologous recombination at high frequency during the sexual cycle. Thus, the processes of RIP and deletion compete...
