cys-14 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU04433 (cys-14) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 4 encodes a sulphate porter with sulphate transporter activity, belonging to the SLC26A/SulP transporter family and containing a STAS domain. The gene is associated with sulfate import into the cell, sulphate transport, chloride transmembrane transport, and membrane transport. Its product localises to the fungal-type vacuole membrane, ER membrane, ER, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sulfate transport.
