lah — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU02793 (lah) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 1 encodes a Woronin anchor domain protein, a member of the involucrin repeat protein family. This gene is associated with organelle localization, response to wounding, innate immunity, secretion, excretion, homologous recombination, and protein synthesis. The product localizes to the porous cell septum. Lah has been linked to the response to actidione. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to cytoplasmic and apoplastic effector functions, as well as to traits including phosphorus concentration, germination rate, and oxidative stress response.
