PHOA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_04055 (PHOA, AnPHOA) on chromosome 2 encodes a phosphoesterase with an alkaline phosphatase core domain and acid phosphatase activity (EC 3.1.3.2). The gene is associated with phospholipid breakdown, programmed cell death, response to nutrient, sexual reproduction, nuclear division, cell cycle control, biofilm formation, cell wall organization, S phase, sporulation, meiosis, morphogenesis, and cell death. It is linked to phosphorus concentration and localizes to the side of membrane, extracellular space, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species encode acid phosphatases, though these associations are not established for AnPHOA itself.
