XLNB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

The Aspergillus nidulans gene ANIA_03613, also known as XLNB or AnXLNB, encodes an endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) belonging to the GH11. This enzyme is associated with xylan breakdown and is annotated to carbon catabolite repression, catabolite repression, and the glucose effect, as well as response to yeast. The encoded protein is predicted to be extracellular. Related genes in other species link the family to apoplastic effector functions, though these roles are not established for the A. nidulans gene itself.
