PHOA — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_07142 (PHOA, AnPHOA) on chromosome 4 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes an acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) with a phosphoesterase domain and an alkaline phosphatase core superfamily domain. The gene is associated with phospholipid breakdown, programmed cell death, response to nutrient levels, sexual reproduction, nuclear division, cell cycle control, biofilm formation, cell wall organization, S phase, sporulation, meiosis, morphogenesis, cell death, and the cell cycle. Its product localizes to the side of the membrane, the extracellular region, and the plasmalemma. PHOA is associated with phosphorus concentration. Related genes in other species encode acid phosphatase proteins.
