Relationship of histidine sensitivity to DNA damage and stress induced responses in mutagen sensitive mutants of Neurospora crassa.

Abstract:

:Previous work in other laboratories has shown that several mutagen sensitive mutants of Neurospora crassa are extremely sensitive to low levels of histidine in the culture medium. We have shown that wild type Neurospora accumulates nicks or breaks in the DNA in the presence of histidine. The number of nicks accumulating in histidine sensitive mutants is found to increase in relation to their sensitivity to histidine. Although these nicks can be repaired by both wild type and histidine sensitive mutants when histidine is removed from the medium, a steady state number of nicks exists as long as histidine is present. We suggest that the presence of these nicks or breaks induces an increase in recombination in these possibly recombination defective mutants and that this is the source of the high level of histidine sensitivity. We speculate on the mechanisms by which histidine induces this DNA damage. This report also shows that several polypeptides are induced by the wild type organism in the presence of histidine. Some of these polypeptides are also induced during other stress situations, such as heat shock and DNA damage due to ultraviolet irradiation. Two of the histidine induced proteins cannot be induced by any of the histidine sensitive mutants.
