qa-1F — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU06028, symbol qa-1F on Neurospora crassa chromosome 7, encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription factor activity and zinc binding. This gene is associated with quinate breakdown, isoleucine breakdown, sucrose metabolism, shikimate metabolism, pyruvate metabolism, monocarboxylic acid metabolism, the TCA cycle, cell adhesion, and filamentous growth in response to biotic stimulus. It is also linked to positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and DNA-dependent transcription. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to quinate catabolism.
