cdp-2 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU00738, symbol cdp-2 on Neurospora crassa chromosome 1, encodes a chromo domain-containing protein, placing it in the chromo/chromo_shadow domain family and the chromo-like domain superfamily. The gene is associated with chromatin silencing, chromatin modeling, chromosome division, and methylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to these chromatin-related processes, though this is not established for cdp-2 itself.
