Genes

Locus	Cultural Requirements	Link Group	Type
rip-1	IIR. Linked to un-15 (1%); right of fl and trp-3 (6 to 9%). (PB). Conditional defect in production of 60S ribosomal subunits (622). At the restrictive temperature (37 C), RNA synthesis is affected first and then protein synthesis; 60S cytosolic ribosomal subunits are underaccumulated, and relatively little 25S rRNA is produced (618, 620, 622; P.J. Russell, personal communication). Defective ribosome biosynthesis at high temperatures is attributed to a defect in rRNA processing (622). Attains 2.4% of the wild-type growth rate at 35°C and 80% at 25°C (P.J. Russell, personal communication). Scored as an irreparable heat-sensitive un mutant (see un). Good fertility, growth, and viability make rip-1preferable to un-15 as a marker for the right end of II. The onginal strain carrying both rip-1 and inl (89601) (382, PB). was called 4M(t). The rip-1 allele in this strain was originally called 1(t).	IIR	B
ylo-1	VIL. Between cys-1 (8%) and ad-1 (6%). Probably right of Bml (2%) (1012, PB). (381). Yellow carotenoids (381). Affects synthesis of neurosporaxanthin (4'-apo-beta'-caroten-4'-oic acid); citations in reference 398. Lesion probably involves the conversion of lycopene to 3,4-dehydrolycopene or the conversion of either torulene or gamma-carotene to neurosporaxanthin (398 and references therein) (Fig. 9). Resembles the orange wild type in young cultures, but color differences become clear with age. Expressed in both conidia and mycelia. Undefined modifiers affect intensity. Fails to complement with many of the al-1 and al-2 albino strains (R.E. Subden, personal communication).	VIL	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
dow	IIIR. Right of ty-1 (21%) and un-17 (23%); linked to erg-3 (10%) and acu-7(0/72) (816).Soft, matty growth, conidiating and covering slants (816). An excellent marker: good viability, fertility, and scorability.	IIIR	B
arg-10	Uses arginine but not precursors.	VIIR	B
acr-2	III. Linked to thi-4 (0/286). Left of sc (3 to 6%) and spg (1 to 11%) (498, 816). acr-2 has been shown left of the centromere on published maps but without direct evidence. acr-2and trp-1 (on IIIR) cosegregated at the second division in 1 of 13 asci (H.B. Howe, Jr., personal communication), which would favor a right arm location. Resistant to acriflavine (494, 495); also resistant to 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (seven alleles tested) (494). Resistance is probably dominant (heterokaryon tests) (498). Not resistant to malachite green. An excellent stable marker, fully fertile, with unambiguous scoring. Sizable inocula should be used to avoid false-negative tests. Use acriflavine at 50 µg /ml in minimal agar medium (816) (higher concentrations may be used) and aminotriazole at 0.5 mg/ml; both added before autoclaving.	III	B
