Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
arg-12	Uses arginine or citrulline.	IIR	B
nuc-2	IIR. Between the T(NM177) breakpoints; hence, right of aro-3. Left of preg(1 to 2%) and pe (4%). Probably allelic with pcon (0/854) (593, 671). (514) Unable to use RNA or DNA as a phosphorus source (514). Defective in production of repressible alkaline and acid phosphatases (671, 1077). Several nucleases absent or reduced (449). Interaction with other phosphate regulatory genes (665). Recessive to nuc+ in partial diploids and heterokaryons (671). Not defective in nuh function (538). Scored on low-phosphate medium by a staining reaction with alpha-naphthyl phosphate plus diazo blue B (397, 1077), by failure to grow on minimal medium altered so that 0.1 g of RNA or DNA per liter is substituted for the inorganic phosphate source (514, 538), or by failure to grow on low-phosphate medium at a pH above 7 (R.L. Metzenberg, personal communication). Used to study phosphate transport (624). For a regulation model, see references 665 and 670. See pcon.	IIR	B
al-2	IR. Right of os-5 (<1%) and T(STL76). Left of arg-6(1%) and al-1 (797, 802, 808, 816, 818). Included in duplications from Tp(T54M94), confirming location left of arg-6(808). (482) Carotenoids absent or abnormal, but steroids produced (398). Blocked in microsomal fraction and defective in phytoene synthetase (445), a particulate enzyme (445 and references cited therein) (Fig. 9). Tracer experiments indicate a lesion between prephytoene pyrophosphate and phytoene (572). Alleles include those resulting in white and pale rose-white, e.g., 15300 and Y254MI65 (1042), and purple, e.g., MN58a (154). For complementation, see references 500 and 1041. Fine-structure mapping (500, 1042) needs reevaluation because of new information on the location of the arg-6 marker (797).	IR	B
