Abstract
δ-Aminolevulinate (ALA) dehydratase, the second and rate limiting enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway in the mold Neurospora crassa is induced maximally in 30 min by the addition of iron to iron-deficient cultures. The induction of the enzyme is blocked by cycloheximide, protoporphyrin, 8-azaguanine and cordycepin. Iron also brings about an increase in poly(A)-containing RNA synthesis under conditions of induction. The iron dependent increase in poly(A)-containing RNA synthesis is blocked by protoporphyrin. It is suggested that at the time intervals examined, bulk of the messenger RNA synthesized in response to iron addition represents the messenger for ALA dehydratase.
