The product of the uaY gene of Aspergillus nidulans is necessary for the expression of at least eight genes coding for enzymes and permeases of the purine utilisation pathway. A detailed fine structure map has been constructed of this gene involving 13 presumed point mutations and eight deletions. Gene conversion of these deletions was demonstrated. A technique was devised to select for constitutive mutations and two were obtained which map within the uaY gene. We have shown that the most centromere proximal allele reverts to a number of different phenotypes. The properties of this allele suggest that it may map in the open reading frame of the uaY gene, in a domain that could be altered in a way that would differentially affect the expression of genes under uaY control.
