A eukaryotic nicotinate-inducible gene cluster: convergent evolution in fungi and bacteria

A eukaryotic nicotinate-inducible gene cluster: convergent evolution in fungi and bacteria

Nicotinate degradation has hitherto been elucidated only in bacteria. In the ascomycete Aspergillus nidulans, six loci, hxnS/AN9178 encoding the molybdenum cofactor-containing nicotinate hydroxylase, AN11197 encoding a Cys2/His2 zinc finger regulator HxnR, together with AN11196/hxnZ, AN11188/hxnY, A...
