Thecys-3+geneoî Neurospora crassaencodes a bZIP (basic region-leucine zipper) regulatory protein that is essential for sulfur structural gene expression (e.g.,ars-1+).Nuclear transcription assays confirmed thatcys-3+was under sulfur-regulated transcriptional control and thatcys-3+transcription was constitutive in sulfur controller (scon)-negative regulator mutants. Given these results, I have tested whether expression ofcys-3+under high-sulfur (repressing) conditions was sufficient to induce sulfur gene expression. TheN. crassaβ-tubulin (tub) promoter was fused to thecys-3+coding segment and used to transform acys-3deletion mutant. Function of thetub::cys-3fusion in homokaryotic transformants grown under high-sulfiir conditions was confirmed by Northern (RNA) and Western immunoblot analysis. Thetubzzcys-3transformants showed arylsulfatase gene expression under normally repressing high-sulfur conditions. Atub::cys-3tsfusion encoding a temperature-sensitive CYS3 protein was used to confirm that the induced structural gene expression was due to CYS3 protein function. Constitutive CYS3 production did not inducescon-2+expression under repressing conditions. In addition, acys-3promoter fusion tolacZshowed that CYS3 production was sufficient to induce its own expression and provides in vivo evidence for autoregulation. Finally, an apparent inhibitory effect observed with a strain carrying a point mutation at thecys-3locus was examined by in vitro heterodimerization studies. These results support an interpretation of CYS3 as a transcriptional activator whose regulation is a crucial control point in the signal response pathway triggered by sulfur limitation.
