gliA — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU6G09710 (symbol gliA) on chromosome 6 of Aspergillus fumigatus encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter, a transmembrane protein localised to the plasma membrane. The gene product is annotated with toxin transmembrane transporter activity and general transmembrane transporter activity. gliA is associated with gliotoxin anabolism, regulation of gliotoxin anabolism, kojic acid anabolism, secondary metabolism, sulfur metabolism, secretion, membrane transport, methylation, homeostasis, and hypersensitivity. It is also linked to the CRISPR-Cas system. Related genes in other species include MFS multidrug transporters, but this is not established for gliA itself.
