Title: NEUROSPORA MUTANTS LACKING ORNITHINE TRANSCARBAMYLASE

Journal Article · · Genetics (U.S.)
OSTI ID:4018805

Mutants lacking ornithine transcarbamylase, the enzyme which couples ornlthine to carbamyl phosphate, were isolated by two methods: as suppressors of the class of pyr-3 mutants displaying in vitro aspartic transcarbamylase activity, and by the filtration and selective plating technic, using conidia of a suppressor mutation, s. This strain suppresses, among other mutants, the class of pyr-3 mutants referred to above. The enzymatic phenotypes of these mutants are described and, although infertility makes it difficult to prove allelism, genetic analyses indicate that all of the mutants studied are located near arg-5 on linkage group II.
