HMG008 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU02695 (HMG008, NcHMG008) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 1 encodes an HMGB family protein containing an HMG box domain, and its molecular function is DNA binding. The gene is associated with chromatin remodeling, hyphal growth, and localization to the nucleus and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to HMG box domain-containing proteins, though these associations are not yet established for N. crassa.
