    Characterization of a proteinaceous extracellular coat synthesized by the “slime” variant of Neurospora crassa (1989)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 152 (1989), S. 25-32 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Neurospora crassa ; “Slime” variant ; Cell coat ; Exocellular proteins ; Glycoproteins

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Cells of the “slime” strain of Neurospora crassa synthesize a coherent extracellular material which remains attached to the cell surface, but is released into the liquid medium by shaking. The material was purified and studied by different criteria. By electron microscopy it appears as long wavy sheets which strongly bind concanavalin A, but not wheat germ agglutinin, and maintain their integrity in the absence of structural polysaccharides. Analysis of the purified material revealed that it was free of contaminating membranes; it contained more than 70% protein, 1% neutral sugars (glucose, mannose, fucose and galactose), less than 2% lipids and ca. 4% not-characterized hexosaminelike compounds. Its polypeptide pattern as determined by PAGE was complex. The significance of this material is discussed.

    Inhibition of the yeast-mycelial transition and the phorogenesis of Mucorales by diamino butanone (1988)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 151 (1988), S. 10-14 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Mucor ; Phycomyces ; Diaminobutanone ; Polyamines ; Dimorphism ; Phorogenesis ; Ornithine decarboxylase ; Fungal differentiation

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract Diamino butanone (DAB), a competitive inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) a key enzyme in polyamine biosynthesis, inhibited the yeast to hyphae transition in Mucor rouxii, induced by transfer from anaerobiosis to aerobiosis, but not the opposite phenomenon. Addition of DAB to anaerobic yeast cells brought about a decrease in ODC and polyamine levels. In these conditions, the aerobic shift produced only a weak increase in ODC activity and no change in polyamine levels. DAB also blocked phorogenesis in M. rouxii and in Phycomyces blakesleeanus. At the effective concentrations DAB did not affect cell growth of either fungus. It is suggested that low, constant levels of ODC and polyamines are necessary for cell growth, and that high transient levels are required during the differentiative steps. DAB, at the concentrations used, affects this last process, but does not interfere with the maintenance level of polyamines.

    Self-assembly properties of the proteinaceous coat secreted by the “slime” variant of Neurospora crassa (1989)
    Springer
    Archives of microbiology 152 (1989), S. 33-38 
    Details
    ISSN: 1432-072X
    Keywords: Neurospora crassa ‘Slime” variant ; Cell coat ; Glycoproteins ; Self-assembling

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract The proteinaceous extracellular material (PEM) synthesized by the cells of the ‘slime” strain of Neurospora crassa (see Martinez et al. 1989) was solubilized by treatment with urea or guanidine. Removal of these chemicals by dialysis, caused reassembly of the solubilized proteins into material with the same microscopic appearance as the original PEM. Polypeptide patterns from both native and reassembled structures were identical. Dialysis-mediated reassembly of the solubilized proteins appeared to be dependent on both concentration of the soluble macromolecules and time. Gel chromatography of PEM solubilized with different agents revealed two discrete populations of complexes with molecular masses of 1,500 and 500 kDa respectively. These were able to reassemble into lamellar structures with a variable degree of efficiency.

    Alterations in the vesicular pattern and wall growth ofPhycomyces induced by the calcium ionophore A 23187 (1989)
    Springer
    Protoplasma 148 (1989), S. 15-25 
    Details
    ISSN: 1615-6102
    Keywords: Vesicles ; Phycomyces ; Calcium ionophore ; Chitin synthetase ; Invertase

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Hyphal elongation, chitin synthesis in vivo, and invertase secretion inPhycomyces blakesleeanus were all inhibited almost instantly by the addition of 5–10 μM calcium ionophore A 23187. Protein biosynthesis was inhibited in these conditions by 30–50%. The ionophore did not affect cell respiration for at least 40 min. Effect on chitin biosynthesis was not due to alterations of the chitin synthetase levels or its activity; nor to impairement in GlcNAc metabolism. In drug-treated cells the number of apical vesicles was severely reduced even at very short periods of incubation, and these low numbers remained constant for at least 60 min of incubation with the ionophore. We suggest that the ionophore collapses the cellular calcium gradient and/or interferes with the normal electrical transhyphal current. As a consequence, formation and migration of apical vesicles are inhibited. These results are further evidence of the role of vesicles in fungal tip growth and exhibit the fact that active chitin synthetase is short-lived in vivo demanding its continuous supply by chitosomes to the cell surface.
