CRNA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_01008 (CRNA, crnA) in Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a protein with a NO3_transporter domain and a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) domain, with molecular functions including nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity, voltage-gated channel activity, and nitrite uptake permease activity. The gene is associated with nitrate import, nitrate transmembrane transport, nitrite transport, nitrate assimilation, nitric oxide metabolism, and chromatin modeling. It is linked to the traits nitrate transport and nitrate uptake, and its product localizes to the plasma membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar transport functions, though these associations are not established for this specific gene.
