Northern analysis of expression of sutA,
sutB, parA, pcbC, and actA
in mycelium of the P. chrysogenum strains Wisconsin 54-1255
(Low), Panlabs P2 (Med), and GB8 (High) after growth under (A) sulfur
starvation (−S) and sulfur-sufficient (+S) conditions and (B) under
penicillin-producing (+SP) and glucose-repressed (+SnP) conditions.
Total RNAs (A, 10 μg for Wisconsin 54-1255 and Panlabs P2 and 3 μg
for GB8; B, 10 μg for all strains) were separated by
agarose-formaldehyde gel electrophoresis, transferred to nylon
membranes (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, Calif.), and hybridized with
32P-labeled probes, as previously described
(21). The data shown are for a single experiment, but
similar results were obtained in two other independent experiments.
