Neurospora crassa es un hongo ascomiceto utilizado como modelo para el estudio de la fotobiología. La luz se percibe a través del complejo White Collar (WCC), un complejo dependiente de la luz que actúa como factor de transcripción regulando la expresión de genes. El genoma de N. crassa también contiene genes para fotorreceptores secundarios:...

Background: Fungi use light as an environmental signal to regulate developmental transitions that are key aspects of their biological cycles and that are also relevant for their dispersal and infectivity as plant or animal pathogens. In addition, light regulates the accumulation of photoprotective pigments, like carotenoids, and other...

The activation of transcription by light in the fungus Neurospora crassa requires the White Collar Complex (WCC), a photoreceptor and transcription factor complex. After light reception two WCCs interact and bind the promoters of light- regulated genes to activate transcription. This process is regulated by VVD, a small photoreceptor that...

Dysregulation of NO production is implicated in pregnancy-related diseases, including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). The role of NO and its placental targets in GDM pregnancies has yet to be determined. S-Nitrosylation is the NO-derived posttranslational protein modification that can modulate biological functions by forming NO-derived...
