CALA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_03079 (CALA, AnCALA) on chromosome 6 encodes a protein with a Bys1 domain and an osmotin/thaumatin-like superfamily fold. The gene is associated with developmental induction, spore germination, sporulation, morphogenesis, secondary metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, and hypersensitivity. Its product is linked to the extracellular space. Related genes in other species encode extracellular thaumatin domain proteins and antigenic thaumatin-like proteins, though these associations are not established for AnCALA itself.
