qutR — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_08886 (qutR) on chromosome 7 of Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4 encodes a repressor protein. The gene is associated with shikimate kinase activity, 3-dehydroquinate synthase activity, shikimate 3-dehydrogenase (NADP⁺) activity, 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase activity, and 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase activity. It is also associated with DNA binding, ATP binding, and metal binding. The gene is linked to shikimate metabolism, the shikimate pathway, quinate breakdown, aromatic amino acid family anabolism, monocarboxylic acid metabolism, heterotrophy, amino acid anabolism, negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, signal transduction, and DNA-dependent transcription. The encoded product localises to the cytoplasm. The qa-1s protein is annotated on this gene. Related genes in other species are linked to quinate repression.
