SCLB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_00585 (symbol SCLB, also known as AnSCLB) on chromosome 8 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain transcription activator of gluconeogenesis (acuK family). The product has DNA-binding transcription factor activity (RNA polymerase II-specific), DNA binding, and zinc binding molecular functions. This gene is associated with asexual reproduction, asexual sporulation, conidia formation, spore formation, secondary metabolism, and DNA-dependent transcription. It has also been linked to oxidative stress response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar regulatory roles, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
