TheamdS gene codes for an acetamidase enzyme that hydrolyses acetamide to acetate and ammonium thus providingA. nidulans with a source of carbon and nitrogen. The exceptionally favourable genetics of this system combined with molecular analysis have enabled many regulatory circuits affectingamdS to be identified genetically. Characterization of the regulatory genes and the definition of the cis-acting sites involved have been done using bothin vivo andin vitro mutagenesis. Recent results on the…

Identification of a Yarrowia lipolytica acetamidase and its use as a yeast genetic marker
TLDR
Yarrowia lipolytica has the ability to utilize acetamide as the sole nitrogen source suggesting that the genome contains an acetamidase gene, and YlAMD1 can be used as a recyclable genetic marker in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Ylamd1Δ Y. lipolyTica.
The role of the GATA transcription factor AreB in regulation of nitrogen and carbon metabolism in Aspergillus nidulans
TLDR
Deletion of AreB has significant phenotypic effects on the utilization of specific carbon sources, confirming its role in the regulation of carbon metabolism, and AreB was shown to regulate the expression of areA, tamA, creA, xprG and cpcA regulatory genes suggesting areB has a range of indirect, regulatory effects.

Identification of theaciA gene controlled by theamdA regulatory gene inAspergillus nidulans
TLDR
It is suggested that theamdA gene is a regulatory gene involved in acetate induction ofaciA andamdS expression, one of a number of transacting regulatory genes controlling expression of theamdS gene inA.
Identification of the aciA gene controlled by the amdA regulatory gene in Aspergillus nidulans.
TLDR
The amdA gene is one of a number of transacting regulatory genes controlling expression of the amdS gene in A. nidulans suggested to be a regulatory gene involved in acetate induction of aciA and amdS expression.
Structural and functional analysis of the amdR regulatory gene of Aspergillus oryzae.
The genetic analysis of regulation of amidase synthesis in Aspergillus nidulans. II. Mutants resistant to fluoroacetamide.
TLDR
Aspergillus nidulans uses an acetamidase enzyme to grow on acetamide as a carbon or as a nitrogen source, and two classes of mutant have been found —amdRc mutants on linkage group II andamdTc on linkagegroup III.
Carbon catabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans: a review
We describe the experimental methodology that led to the discovery of the creA gene in Aspergillus nidulans. This gene codes for a transcriptional repressor mediating carbon catabolite repression in…
Characterization of the amdR-controlled lamA and lamB genes of Aspergillus nidulans.
TLDR
Evidence is provided that the conversion of exogenous 2-pyrrolidinone to endogenous GABA requires a functional lamB gene, and that the expression of both lamA and lamB is subject to carbon and nitrogen metabolite repression in addition to amdR-mediated induction by omega-amino acids.
Pleiotropic mutants ofAspergillus nidulans altered in carbon metabolism
TLDR
The results indicate that thecreB andcreC genes may have a regulatory role in the control of carbon catabolism.
Characterization of the amdA-regulated aciA gene of Aspergillus nidulans
TLDR
A 13 by region of sequence similarity was observed between aciA and the coregulated amdS gene in the regions required for amdA-mediated regulation of these genes, which may have a role in amdA regulation of the two genes.
Analysis of the creA gene, a regulator of carbon catabolite repression in Aspergillus nidulans
TLDR
Evidence is presented suggesting that the phenotype of such a deletion of Aspergillus nidulans is leaky lethality allowing limited germination of the spore but not colony formation, and thus either the gene product may have an activator activity as well as a repressor function or some residual repression function may be required for full viability.
Isolation and analysis of the acetate regulatory gene, facB, from Aspergillus nidulans.
TLDR
Examination of message levels in wild-type and mutant strains indicated that the facB gene is subject to carbon catabolite repression, and additional copies of thefacB gene were shown to specifically overcome the effect of facB product titration.
