amdS — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

The ANIA_04195 (amdS) gene on chromosome 2 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes an amidase domain-containing protein with fatty acid amide hydrolase, amidase, and hydrolase activities. This gene is associated with DNA-mediated transformation, DNA integration, regeneration, karyogamy, carbon catabolite repression, acetate metabolism, the glyoxylate cycle, penicillin and antibiotic anabolism, osmotic response, mitotic recombination, regulation of gene expression, translation termination and initiation, and fatty acid breakdown. The encoded product localises to the cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to amidase activity (EC 3.5.1.4).
