kynureninase

locus: kyn-1

locus_name: kynureninase

organism_type: B

chromosome_number: VII

chromosome_side:

link_group: VII

cultural_requirements: VII. Linked to nic-3 (30%) and wc-1 (20%) (G. Lester and P.J. Russell, personal communication).Partially defective in induction of the kynurenase I (inducible) isozyme by kynurenine, indole, or tryptophan, but has normal levels of the constitutive kynureninase II isozyme. Possibly regulatory. Scored and selected by a low level of anthranilate accumulation on medium supplemented with a high level of tryptophan, which results in a low level of UV fluorescence compared with that of the wild type (926).
