encC — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU4G09250 (encC) on chromosome 4 of Aspergillus fumigatus encodes a DUF1772-domain-containing protein with monooxygenase activity, belonging to the Anthrone_oxy domain family. The gene is associated with endocrocin anabolism, aflatoxin anabolism, and secondary metabolism, and its product is localized to the membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to anthrone oxygenase activity (EC 1.13.12.20) and broader oxidoreductase functions (EC 1.10.3.-, EC 1.-.-.-), though these are not established for encC itself.
