RESUMO
The glycerol dissimilatory system in Neurospora crassa was analyzed through the characterization of 18 Glp- mutants which were isolated after inositol-less death and filtration enrichment. All mutants obtained by this procedure could be assigned to one of three complementation groups. The subsequent genetic characterization of these glp mutations revealed lesions on the I, II, and VI chromosomes at the glp-1, glp-2, and glp-4 loci, each of which was subjected to fine-structure analysis. Evidence from the enzymatic characterization of these mutants indicated that glp-2 and glp-4 were the structural genes encoding the mitochondrial glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and cytosolic glycerokinase, respectively. Additional evidence, obtained from studies of the inducibility of glycerokinase by glycerol, cold treatment, or deoxyribose, suggests that glp-1 is involved in controlling the expression of glp-4.
