| Research Abstract |
Research on the HapX, a regulator involved in iron homeostasis in filamentous fungi led to some new findings, as follows. 1) Hap B/C/E complex-dependent specific bind- ing property of HapX to the promoters of genes coding iron containing proteins such as cytochrome c. has been elucidated. 2) In vivo analysis revealed the involvement of HapX in the iron homeostasis. 3) Truncated mutants of HapX and the truncated recombinant HapX were obtained to use for the future domain analysis of HapX.
