BSC1 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NcBSC1 (NCU06983) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 4 encodes a protein of unknown molecular function. The gene is annotated to flocculation and regulation of gene expression. Phenotypic associations link NcBSC1 to flocculation, biofilm formation, cell fusion, adhesion, mating efficiency, toxin resistance, osmotic and oxidative stress resistance, entry into G0 stationary phase, cell cycle progression through G1/S, cytokinesis, budding rate, meiosis timing, endocytosis, nuclear export, mitophagy, polyploidy, cell death, replicative lifespan, and fermentative growth. The gene is also associated with abnormal protein activity. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to flocculin and adhesion domains, as well as traits including beta-glucan, polysaccharide, and protein content, acid sensitivity, and oxidative stress response.
