tmpA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_00055 (tmpA) on chromosome 8 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a protein with an adenylate-forming domain and is associated with redox activity and ATP binding. The product is linked to the plasma membrane and has been connected to multiple developmental processes, including cleistothecium formation, fruiting body formation, conidiophore development, sexual sporulation, asexual reproduction, regulation of conidium formation, conidia formation, and sporulation. Studies of related genes in other species link the TmpA family to an oxidoreductase enzyme class (EC 1.2.1.-). The gene is also associated with an integral membrane protein TmpA and contains an AMP-binding C-terminal superfamily domain and an FNR nucleotide-binding domain.
