tyrosinase-2

locus: ty-2

locus_name: tyrosinase-2

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: I

chromosome_side: R

link_group: IR

cultural_requirements: IR. Right of al-2 (459). Tyrosinase repressed. Recessive (475, 477). Uninducible by protein synthesis inhibitors, e.g., cycloheximide, in the sexual phase, but inducible in vegetative culture (472, 477). Short aerial hyphae (459), although described earlier as morphologically normal (475). Female infertile but fertile as the male. Infertility is recessive in heterokaryons (475). Prototrophic. Score by color reaction with DL-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine as the substrate (475, 477) or by morphology or female sterility.
