CRNA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

AnCRNA (CRNA, NRTB) on Aspergillus nidulans chromosome 8 encodes a protein of the MFS superfamily with NO3_transporter domain, annotated with nitrate transmembrane transporter activity, nitrite transmembrane transporter activity, nitrite uptake permease activity and voltage-gated channel activity. The protein localises to the plasma membrane and is associated with nitrate import, nitrate transmembrane transport, nitrite transport, nitrate assimilation, nitrate metabolism, nitric oxide metabolism and chromatin modelling. The gene is linked to nitrate transport and nitrate uptake traits. Related genes in other species connect the family to nitrate/nitrite transport.
