FLBB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_07542 (FLBB) on Aspergillus nidulans chromosome 4 encodes a protein with an AP-1-like domain and bZIP_sf domain, and is annotated with DNA-binding transcription activator activity specific to RNA polymerase II. This gene is associated with regulation of asexual sporulation, conidiophore development, conidia formation, positive regulation of conidium formation, cleistothecium formation, fruiting body formation, developmental induction, autolysis, nuclear transport, nuclear movement, secondary metabolism including sterigmatocystin anabolism, glutathione metabolism, and oxidative stress response. The product localizes to the nucleus, hyphal tip, and RNA polymerase II transcription regulator complex. Related genes in other species include bZIP transcription factor FlbB.
