HSP30 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07232 (HSP30) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes a heat shock protein 30, a member of the small heat shock protein family with an A-crystallin/Hsp20 domain and HSP20-like chaperone domain. The gene is associated with cellular response to heat and farnesol, spore germination, carbohydrate utilization, mannitol anabolism, cellulose breakdown, glucose metabolism, the TCA cycle, methylation, protein synthesis, and structural organization, and its product localizes to the cytoplasm. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress response.
