Expression

Organism Comment Expression
Neurospora crassa in a activator knockout DELTAcys-3 mutant strain, the met-2+ transcript levels are substantially reduced under either low- or high-sulfur growth conditions down
Neurospora crassa expression of met-2+ in wild-type Neurspora crassa increases 3.1fold under sulfur-limiting growth conditions as compared to the transcript levels seen under high sulfur growth conditions, i.e., repressing conditions up

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
metabolism cystathionine beta-lyase is part of the CYS3-controlled regulatory network Neurospora crassa
physiological function cystathionine beta-lyase performs an essential role in the transsulfuration pathway by its primary reaction of forming homocysteine from cystathionine. It allows for the utilization of the intracellular pool of cystathionine for the synthesis of homocysteine which serves as the immediate precursor to methionine Neurospora crassa
