title: Molecular genetic analysis of the pyr-4 gene of Neurospora crassa.
abstract: By means of S1 nuclease mapping, one transcription origin and three termini are identified for the pyr-4 gene of Neurospora crassa, the same origin being used also by Escherichia coli on the cloned gene. Translation of the clone in mini-cells gives a 50,000 dalton gene product, the same size as that determined for the Neurospora native enzyme. Putative CAAT and TATA boxes, and upstream and downstream potential secondary structures, are identified.
