An N-acetyltransferase influences AreA nuclear localization and nitrogen utilization in the basidiomycete Ganoderma lucidum.

Nitrogen metabolism is fundamental to fungal growth, development, and the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites. The GATA transcription factor AreA plays a pivotal regulatory role in nitrogen metabolite repression. While the molecular mechanisms by which AreA responds to nitrogen sources have been relatively well eluci...
