dim-7 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU04152, symbol dim-7, on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5, encodes a protein (EAA32072) that is associated with nuclear transport, nuclear import, nucleocytoplasmic transport, chromatin silencing, chromosome division, and methylation. The gene is linked to the DIM-7 related gene. Related genes in other species include DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase 1 replication foci domain-containing proteins. The gene has also been linked to fungal pathogens including Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum strains. No direct evidence of molecular function or enzyme activity has been observed in this species.
