nmr — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU04158 (symbol nmr) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes a protein containing an NmrA-like oxidoreductase domain and a NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily, with annotated NADP+, NAD+ and NAD binding and redox activity. This gene is associated with regulation of nitrate assimilation, nitrogen catabolite repression of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter, nitrogen utilization, catabolite repression, nitrate assimilation, digestion, downregulation of transcription, secondary metabolism, and gibberellin biosynthesis. It is linked to nitrogen content as a trait. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the NmrA family to nitrogen metabolite repression regulation.
