Popis: | Mutations to two albino loci ofNeurospora (al-2 andal-3) are known to block tetraterpene synthesis prior to phytoene but after farnesyl pyrophosphate. Analysis of the terpenyl pyrophosphates labeled with [214C] mevalonic acid revealed the presence of radioactive prephytoene, pyrophosphate in both albino mutants and in the corresponding wild type strain. Theal-2 andal-3 mutations are thus associated with lesions between prephytoene pyrophosphate and phytoene. |
