“…A number of genes that affect aod-1 expression have been identified [ 23 , 28 , 29 ]. Two zinc cluster transcription factors, encoded by the aod-2 and aod-5 genes [ 23 , 30 ], bind constitutively as a heterodimer in the upstream region of the aod-1 gene and are required for the increased transcription of aod-1 that occurs under inducing conditions [ 19 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 ]. Similarly, the expression of AOX in Aspergillus nidulans and Podospora anserina requires the orthologues of N. crassa AOD2 and AOD5 [ 34 , 35 , 36 ].…”
