qa-X — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU06022 (qa-X) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 7 encodes an inositol monophosphatase-like protein with inositol monophosphate 1-phosphatase activity and metal binding. The gene is associated with inositol metabolism, PIP biosynthesis, and signal transduction, as well as carbon catabolite repression and catabolite repression. It has also been linked to isoleucine breakdown, sucrose metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, monocarboxylic acid metabolism, and the TCA cycle. Related genes in other species encode inositol-1-monophosphatase.
