encC — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU4G00225 (encC) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 4 encodes a monooxygenase belonging to the anthrone oxygenase family. The gene is associated with endocrocin anabolism, aflatoxin anabolism, secondary metabolism, and secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Its product is localized to the membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar oxidative activities in secondary metabolite pathways.
