sulfur control

locus: scon

locus_name: sulfur control

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: V

chromosome_side: R?

link_group: VR?

cultural_requirements: Probably VR, right of his-6 (R.L. Metzenberg, personal communication). But presence of a translocation (and, therefore, pseudolinkage) cannot be ruled out because white spores are prevalent in sconc crosses. Difficult to map because of infertility (R. L. Metzenberg, personal communication). Regulates a group of enzymes of sulfur metabolism, including arylsulfatase and choline sulfatase. Allele sconc is constitutive for these enzymes, but its effect in a heterokaryon is restricted to its own nucleus (123). Hypostatic to regulatory gene cys-3 (284). Review of regulation (642). Ascospores and conidia germinate poorly (123, 930).
