Article Synopsis
- - RSC is a crucial chromatin remodeling complex in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that depends on ATP and exists in two forms, involving different isoforms of a key subunit, Nps1/Sth1.
- - A genetic screening method identified links between RSC and mitochondrial function, showing that mutations in rsc genes led to respiratory growth issues and mitochondrial aggregation.
- - Overexpression studies revealed that RSC isoforms have overlapping roles in promoting respiratory growth by regulating mitochondrial gene expression through interaction with the HAP transcriptional complex.
Aspergillus oryzae is a fungus that is used widely in traditional Japanese fermentation industries. In this study, the lethal and mutagenic effects of different linear energy transfer (LET) radiation in freeze-dried conidia of A. oryzae were investigated.

Sequence results showed that all black Aspergillus strains could be classified into 3 types, type N which includes A.
