Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
ars-1	Grows on minimal, makes color reaction with p-nitrophenyl sulfate.	VII	B
lys-1	V. Right of caf-1 (4 to 14%). Left of cyt-9 (5%) and at (1 to 20%) (817; K.S. Hsu, personal communication; PB). (403)Uses lysine, alpha-aminoadipic acid, or epsilon-hydroxynorleucine (alpha-amino-epsilon-hydroxycaproic acid) (399, 400, 684, 1087). Accumulates homocitrate on limiting lysine concentrations (464) (Fig. 16). Fine structure and complementation between alleles (8). Initial allele: 33933.	V	B
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
thi-4	III. Linked to acr-2, spg, and sc (< 1%). Left of pro-1(3%) and ace-2 (4 to 9%) (812). (482). Requires thiamine (301). Anomalous in condensation of the pyrimidine and thiazole precursors. Very leaky (301). A probable allele called "thi-lo" greatly increases the thiamine requirement of thi-1 strains and decreases the ability to synthesize thiamine from pyrimidine and thiazole. thi-lo strains have no detectable nutritional requirement in the absence of thi-1. thi-lo failed to recombine with thi-4 among 55 scorable progeny (301).
