Description
The gene yA from Aspergillus nidulans encodes a p-diphenol oxidase (laccase) that converts a yellow pigment precursor to the mature green form. The green pigment is located in the walls of the conidia and protects the spores from damage by ultraviolet light. A yA mutant produces yellow spores.
