GbpA — Aspergillus fumigatus

Summary

AFU8G00780 (symbol GbpA, also known as NF001 or AfNF001) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 8 encodes a protein containing an AAA+ ATPase domain and a CbxX/CfxQ domain, with ATP hydrolase activity and ATP binding. This gene is associated with secondary metabolism, as annotated by ontology terms. Studies of related AAA family ATPases in other fungi, including Fusarium oxysporum strains, link the gene family to processes such as sporulation, though these associations are not established for A. fumigatus.
