fbaA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_02334 (symbol fbaA) on chromosome 7 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a class II fructose-bisphosphate aldolase (FBP aldolase), an enzyme with fructose-bisphosphate aldolase activity (EC 4.1.2.13) that also binds zinc and melatonin. The gene is annotated to canonical glycolysis, the glycolytic process, and gluconeogenesis, and its product localises to the cytosol, mitochondria, and extracellular space. fbaA is associated with related genes in several fungal species, including Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium dahliae. The gene is also connected to Aspergillus nidulans gene ANIA_01888 and to multiple Fusarium homologues.
