FLUG — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_04819 (FLUG, fluG) in Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 on chromosome 3 encodes a protein with Gln_synt_N, Gln_synth_cat_dom, Gln_synth/guanido_kin_cat_dom, Amidohydro-rel, and Metal_Hydrolase domains, classified as having hydrolase activity. It is associated with L-glutamine anabolism, glutathione metabolism, nitrogen fixation, regulation of pH, carbon catabolite repression, nodulation, organogenesis, hyphopodium formation, cleistothecium formation, blue light response, developmental induction, sporocarp development involved in asexual reproduction, regulation of sterigmatocystin biosynthetic process, fruiting body formation, syngamy, positive regulation of conidium formation, autolysis, and conidiophore development. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm and is associated with oxidative stress response. Related genes in other species, including Fusarium and Verticillium, encode amidohydrolase 2 and glutamine synthetase family members.
