HAM1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU04669, symbol HAM1, on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5, encodes a protein containing a bactericidal permeability-increasing domain and DUF5923, and is annotated with lipid-binding molecular function. The gene is associated with protein palmitoylation, sexual reproduction, and mating based on ontology annotations in this species. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to bactericidal permeability-increasing proteins, though these associations are not established for HAM1 itself.
