An inducible acetate transport system in Neurospora crassa conidia
Abstract:
Neurospora crassa conidia possess an active transport system for the uptake of acetate. This system was characterized as: (a) energy dependent; (b) taking place against a concentration gradient; (c) saturating at higher substrate concentrations and (d) competitively inhibited by propionate. Activity of the acetate transport system can be further enhanced by preincubating conidia in 1 mM acetate medium for 180 min (the inducible transport system). The conidial system and the inducible system have similar properties. The development of the inducible transport was dependent on RNA and protein synthesis. A genetic control of this system was further confirmed by isolating a mutant acp-i acetate permease, inducible) that fails to develop the inducible transport system.
