    Notes: Genetic dissection of carbon catabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans has identified two genes, creB and creC, which, when mutated, affect expression of many genes in both carbon catabolite repressing and derepressing conditions. The creB gene encodes a functional deubiquitinating enzyme and the creC gene encodes a protein that contains five WD40 repeat motifs, and a proline-rich region . These findings have allowed the in vivo molecular analysis of a cellular switch involving deubiquitination. We demonstrate that overexpression of the CreB deubiquitinating enzyme can partially compensate for a lack of the CreC WD40-repeat protein in the cell, but not vice versa and, thus, the CreB deubiquitinating enzyme acts downstream of the CreC WD40-repeat protein. We demonstrate using co-immunoprecipitation ex-periments that the CreB deubiquitinating enzyme and the CreC WD40-repeat protein interact in vivo in both carbon catabolite repressing and carbon catabolite derepressing conditions. Further, we show that the CreC WD40-repeat protein is required to prevent the proteolysis of the CreB deubiquitinating enzyme in the absence of carbon catabolite repression. This is the first case in which a regulatory deubiquitinating enzyme has been shown to interact with another protein that is required for the stability of the deubiquitinating enzyme.

    Notes: The best studied role of ubiquitination is to mark proteins for destruction by the proteasome but, in addition, it has recently been shown to promote macromolecular assembly and function, and alter protein function, thus playing a regulatory role distinct from protein degradation. Deubiquinating enzymes, the ubiquitin-processing proteases (ubps) and the ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolases (uchs), remove ubiquitin from ubiquitinated substrates. We show here that the creB gene involved in carbon catabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans encodes a functional member of the novel subfamily of the ubp family defined by the human homologue UBH1, thus implicating ubiquitination in the process of carbon catabolite repression. Members of the novel subfamily of ubps that include CreB are widespread amongst eukaryotes, with homologues present in mammals, nematodes, Drosophila and Arabidopsis, but mutations in the genes have only been identified in A. nidulans. From phenotypes of the A. nidulans mutants it is probable that this subfamily is involved in complex regulatory pathways. Mutations in the gene encoding the WD40 repeat protein CreC result in an identical phenotype, implicating both genes in this pathway.

    RcoA has pleiotropic effects on Aspergillus nidulans cellular development (2001)

    Notes: Aspergillus nidulans rcoA encodes a member of the WD repeat family of proteins. The RcoA protein shares sequence similarity with other members of this protein family, including the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Tup1p and Neurospora crassa RCO1. Tup1p is involved in negative regulation of an array of functions including carbon catabolite repression. RCO1 functions in regulating pleiotropic developmental processes, but not carbon catabolite repression. In A. nidulans, deletion of rcoA (ΔrcoA), a recessive mutation, resulted in gross defects in vegetative growth, asexual spore production and sterigmatocystin (ST) biosynthesis. Expression of the asexual and ST pathway-specific regulatory genes, brlA and aflR, respectively, but not the signal transduction genes (i.e. flbA, fluG or fadA) regulating brlA and aflR expression was delayed (brlA) or eliminated (aflR) in a ΔrcoA strain. Overexpression of aflR in a ΔrcoA strain could not rescue normal expression of downstream targets of AflR. CreA-dependent carbon catabolite repression of starch and ethanol utilization was only weakly affected in a ΔrcoA strain. The strong role of RcoA in development, vegetative growth and ST production, compared with a relatively weak role in carbon catabolite repression, is similar to the role of RCO1 in N. crassa.

    Regulation of two alcohol dehydrogenases in Aspergillus nidulans (1984)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary In Aspergillus nidulans there are two alcohol dehydrogenases. In the presence of ethanol, alcohol dehydrogenase I (AHH I) is induced and alcohol dehydrogenase II (ADH II) is repressed. ADH I and ADH II have molecular weights of 39,000 and 36,000 respectively. At least ADH I is under the control of alcR, a transacting regulatory gene that is adjacent to alcA (the structural gene for ADH I, Pateman et al. 1983). Mutations in the alcR regulatory gene result in non inducibility of ADH I specific mRNA. Extreme alcA and alcR mutations result in derepressed levels of ADH II, and it is not clear whether alcR controls ADH II directly or through its control of ADH I synthesis. Both enzymes are subject to carbon catabolite repression. Induction of ADH I and ADH II operates at the level of synthesis or processing of mRNA.

    Notes: Summary An alcohol dehydrogenase was shown to be induced inAspergillus nidulans by periods of anaerobic stress. This alcohol dehydrogenase was shown to correspond to the previously described cryptic enzyme, alcohol dehydrogenase III (McKnight et al. 1985), by analysis of a mutation in the structural gene of alcohol dehydrogenase III,alcC, created by gene disruption. Survival tests on agar plates showed that this enzyme is required for long-term survival under anaerobic conditions. Northern blot analysis and gene fusion studies showed that the expression of thealcC gene is regulated at both the transcriptional and translational levels. Thus there are mechanisms in this filamentous fungus allowing survival under anaerobic stress that are similar to those described in higher plants.

    Genetic diversity in ruminal isolates ofSelenomonas ruminantium (1991)

    Notes: Abstract Diversity in the ruminal bacterial speciesSelenomonas ruminantium has been investigated by DNA fingerprinting, DNA-DNA hybridization, plasmid analysis, bacteriophage sensitivity, and monoclonal antibody-based immunoassay. Twenty different isolates from the sheep rumen were initially classified morphologically and by carbon source utilization. DNA fingerprint analyses and quantitative genomic DNA hybridizations showed that limited grouping of these isolates was possible, with the largest group comprising four isolates, and two other groups comprising two isolates each. The remaining isolates were unique. Plasmids in four different size classes, 2.5, 3.7, 6.5 and 12.0 kbp, were identified, but these did not appear in all isolates. There was no apparent relationship between DNA fingerprint pattern and plasmid content. Only three isolates were sensitive to theS. ruminantium-specific temperate bacteriophage S-1. These data indicate that substantial genetic diversity exists within the ruminal speciesS. ruminantium, but that at least one strain may represent up to 20% of isolates.
