QA-Y — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_08084 (QA-Y) in Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) sugar transporter with proton:sugar symporter activity, localised to the plasma membrane. It is associated with carbohydrate transport and monocarboxylic acid metabolism. Related genes in other species include quinate permease and MFS sugar transporters. The gene is also linked to Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum strains through sequence similarity.
