Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
nic-3	VIIL. Right of spco-4 (1%) and do (3%). Left of thi-3 (9 to 27%) and csp-2 (16 to 22%) (539, 812, 816, PB). (M.K. Allen, cited in references 718 and 789) Uses nicotinic acid, nicotinamide, 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid, 3-hydroxykynurenine, or high concentrations of quinolinic acid (96, 1168). Accumulates alpha-N-acetylkynurenine; blocked in conversion of kynurenine to 3-hydroxykynurenine (1168) (Fig. 18). Pyridine nucleotide levels (111). Pathway from tryptophan to nicotinic mononucleotide, showing sites of gene action (96, 100, 368, 1168). The enzymatic reactions between 3-hydroxyanthranilate and nicotinic mononucleotide have not been demonstrated directly in Neurospora.	VIIL	B
arg-10	Uses arginine but not precursors.	VIIR	B
met-7	VIIR. Right of qa-2 (<1%), ars (<1%), and the centromere (one second-division ascus in several hundred). Left of met-9 (10[-4]) and wc-1 (1 to 4%) (146, 725; M.E. Case, personal communication). (718; M.K. Allen, cited in references 718 and 789) Uses cystathionine, homocysteine, or methionine (718; N. H. Horowitz, cited in reference 1180). Lacks cystathionine-gamma-synthase (547) (Fig. 17). This enzyme is also lacking in the mutant met-3 (547). See met-3 for regulation. Apparently contiguous with met-9by coconversion. Flanking markers are recombined in most met-7+ met-9+ recombinants (725). Functionally distinct from the mutant met-9, which has active cystathionine-gamma-synthase (547) but cannot use homocysteine. No mutants lacking both functions have been isolated. Allele NM251 is suppressible by supersuppressor RN33 (same as ssu-1?) (725). Allele K79 is inseparable from reciprocal translocation T(I;VII)K79 (808).	VIIR	B
