nscR — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU7G00130, symbol nscR, on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 7, encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific transcription factor activity, DNA binding, and zinc binding molecular functions. It is localized to the nucleus. The gene is associated with secondary metabolism, activation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis, positive regulation of metabolism, DNA-dependent transcription, and response to FK506. Related genes in other species encode a C6 transcription factor, but these associations are not yet established for nscR itself.
