yA (green pigment) from Aspergillus nidulans

The gene yA from Aspergillus nidulans encodes a p-diphenol oxidase (laccase) that converts a yellow pigment precursor to the mature green form (1).


Usage and Biology

The A. nidulans conidia (asexual spores) contain a dark green pigment in their walls. The pigment protects the spores from damage by ultraviolet irradiation. The synthesis of this pigment involves the expression of several genes (ωA, yA andfiA) and other genes can modify the amount- and chemical properties of the pigment (dilA, chaA, drkA). A yA mutant produces yellow spores (1).
