CNB1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU01376 (CNB1, pho-2) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes a protein with an alkaline phosphatase core superfamily domain and alkaline phosphatase activity (EC 3.1.3.1), and is annotated for zinc ion sensor activity and metal binding. The gene is associated with phosphate metabolism, nicotinamide nucleotide metabolism, and secretion, and its product localises to the fungal-type vacuole and vacuole membrane. Related genes in other species, including Fusarium and Verticillium, are linked to this gene by sequence similarity.
