Abstract
-
Phospholipase C1 (PLC1), secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2)
and Ca2+/H+ exchanger proteins regulate calcium signaling
and homeostasis in eukaryotes. In this study, we investigate
functions for phospholipase C1 (plc-1), sPLA2 (splA2) and a
Ca2+/H+ exchanger (cpe-1) in the filamentous fungus Neurospora
crassa. The Δplc-1, ΔsplA2, and Δcpe-1 mutants exhibited
a growth defect on medium supplemented with the
divalent ionophore A23187, suggesting that these genes might
play a role in regulation of cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration
([Ca2+]c) in N. crassa. The strains lacking plc-1, splA2, and
cpe-1 possessed higher carotenoid content than wild type at
8°C, 22°C, and 30°C, and showed increased ultraviolet (UV)-
survival under conditions that induced carotenoid accumulation.
Moreover, Δplc-1, ΔsplA2, and Δcpe-1 mutants showed
reduced survival rate under hydrogen peroxide-induced oxidative
stress and induced thermotolerance after exposure
to heat shock temperatures. Thus, this study revealed multiple
cellular roles for plc-1, splA2, and cpe-1 genes in regulation
of [Ca2+]c, carotenoid accumulation, survival under
stress conditions, and acquisition of thermotolerance induced
by heat shock.

Abstract
-
The pmb gene encoding a basic amino acid transport protein in Neurospora crassa could be cloned by using a mutant strain defective in pmb gene as a host strain, using a negative selection on the media containing amino acid analogue canavanine. To select positive transformants of the genes for cloning, an auxotrophic marker (his-2) was added to a pmb mutant strain by mating ; a triple mutant (pmn : pmb : his-2) was constructued by crossing a strain defective in basic amino acid transport system (# 1683-bat um 535 "A") to a double mutant strain defective in neutral amino acid transport and histidine production (mitr6r : his-2 "a"). Crossing was performed on synthetic crossing (SC) media containing histidine. The pmn : pmb and pmn :pmb : his-2 strains were selected among the progeny colonies from crosses on plates containing 50㎍/㎖ para-fluoro-phenylalanine (PFPA), 200㎍/㎖ canavanine, and 500㎍/㎖ histidine. The selected colonies were cultured on minimal media with or without histidine for discarding pmn : pmb strain, because the pmn : pmb : his -2 strain grows only on histidine containing media. The pmn :pmb : his-2 strain selected can be used as a host strain for the cloning of the pmb and the pmn genes from a Neurospora genomic library by means of positive selections.

Abstract
-
N. crassa mutant strain nap showed reduced growth rate, decreased electric membrane potential, and elevated intracellular ATP content in comparison to the wild type. Blue light induced a hyperpolarization of the membrane potential in both strains. The analysis of oxidative and phosphorylation activities of mitochondria isolated from the two strains has revealed that nap utilized more efficient oxidative pathways. The higher intracellular ATP content in the nap was presumably due to impaired transport systems of the plasma membrane, and to a lesser extent to the functioning of the fully competent respiratory chain. The excess ATP possibly accounts for carotenoid accumulation in the mutant.
