XLNB — Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4

Summary

ANIA_09365 (XLNB, AnXLNB) encodes an endo-1,4-beta-xylanase (EC 3.2.1.8) belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family 11 (GH11). The encoded protein is predicted to be extracellular. This gene is associated with xylan breakdown, carbon catabolite repression, catabolite repression, the glucose effect, and response to yeast. It is also linked to the related gene XYLA. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to apoplastic effector function and to the plant pathogens Verticillium dahliae, Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense TR4, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici.
