cipC — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU5G09330 (symbol cipC) on chromosome 5 of Aspergillus fumigatus encodes a protein containing the DUF3759 domain, which is localised to the cytoplasm. The gene is annotated to biological processes including invasive growth, morphogenesis, and hypersensitivity. It is also associated with invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and has been studied in the context of Mus musculus models. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to antibiotic response and fungal pathogenesis, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
