Corrections to the Neurospora Compendium

David D. Perkins. Department of Biological Sciences, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5020.

Fungal Genet. Newsl. 49:17

The following changes should be made in The Neurospora Compendium: Chromosomal Loci (Perkins, D. D., A. Radford, and M. S. Sachs. Academic Press, 2000):

col-6 (pp. 50, 218): The know col-6 mutation, now listed in IV, is associated with a translocation, T(III;IV)S1302 col-6. The col-6 gene may therefore be located either in III or in IV.

col-18 (pp. 50, 226): Change "Between un-23 (3/28) and T(OY320)" to "Right of un-23 (3/28) and T(OY320)".

cys-3 (pp. 61, 214): Change "Between ro-7, pi ((4%) and T(AR18)^L, pyr-4 (!8%; 21%) (1414, 1580, 1592)" to "Between pi (4%), T(AR18)^L and T(AR18)^R, pyr-4 (!8%; 21%) (1414, 1546; C. O. Micali, N. MirRashad and M. L. Smith, personal communication)".

lys-3 (p. 101): A description of lys-5 was incorrectly substituted for that of lys-3. The correct lys-3 description should read as follows (essentially unchanged from the 1982 compendium):

 "Uses lysine or e-hydroxynorleucine. Probably blocked in conversion of a-aminoadipate to a-aminoadipate semialdehyde, based on precursor utilization (751, 2113) (Fig. 40). Complementation can occur between alleles (20). Ascospores are white and inviable in homozygous lys-3 ´ lys-3 crosses, but some heteroallelic crosses are fertile (20). Inhibited by methionine."

The lys-3 entry is correct in other respects.

T(OY320) (p. 227): Change "Between un-23 and ws-1" to "Between un-23 and col-18, ws-1".

Figure 55 (p. 148): In the next-to-last line of the legend, change qa-lS to qa-X.

Linkage Group VI map (p. 226): T(OY347) and T(OY343) were omitted from the drawn map, at the left and right ends, respectively.
