Abstract
Light induces the expression of the gene ccg-1 in Neurospora crassa, highlighting its complex regulation.
- ccg-1 expression is significantly influenced by light, independent of the circadian clock's direct effects.
- In strains lacking a functional circadian clock, ccg-1 expression is not constant but varies with developmental changes.
- The expression of ccg-1 depends on the products of the wc-1 and wc-2 genes.
- In certain conditional mutants, the requirement for wc-2 in ccg-1 expression is suppressed by the cot-1 gene, which encodes a cAMP-dependent protein kinase.
- The regulation of ccg-1 involves interactions between circadian, light, metabolic, and likely developmental controls.
