oli — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU02250 (oli) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 7 encodes a protein with an ATP synthase F0 subunit domain and is annotated with proton transporter activity and lipid binding. The gene is associated with proton-motive-force-driven ATP synthesis, both general and mitochondrial, and with melanin anabolism, protoperithecium formation, and cellular salinity response. The product localises to the mitochondrial inner membrane and the F1-F0 complex. Phenotypic associations link the gene to mitochondrial transport, respiratory growth, spore germination, vegetative growth, cell cycle progression, mitochondrial genome maintenance, and responses to cold, heat, desiccation, and starvation. It is also associated with increased sporulation efficiency, killer toxin resistance, colony sectoring, and decreased silencing, as well as abnormal peroxisomal morphology and chromosome/plasmid maintenance.
