NMR — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

AnNMR (ANIA_08168) on chromosome 2 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes an NmrA-like oxidoreductase domain protein with NAD(P)-binding capacity and redox activity. The gene product is associated with nitrogen catabolite repression, nitrate assimilation, and regulation of nitrogen utilization, as well as gibberellin biosynthesis, alkaloid metabolism, and secondary metabolism. It is linked to both cytoplasmic and nuclear localization and to downregulation of DNA-dependent transcription. Studies of related genes in other species connect the NmrA family to nitrogen metabolite repression and nitrogen content traits.
