laeB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_04699 (laeB) on chromosome 3 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a DUF8032 domain-containing protein. The gene is associated with regulation of growth, regulation of secondary metabolism, secondary metabolism, fermentation, and carbohydrate metabolism. It is also linked to the related gene rsdA. Studies of related genes in other species, based on sequence similarity, connect the family to reduced virulence and to associations with fusarium head blight and the plant pathogens Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum.
