CONJ — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07325 (symbol CONJ, also known as con-10) encodes a conidiation-specific protein containing a Stress/Virulence Domain and a Stress-induced_KGG_rpt motif. In Neurospora crassa, this gene is associated with conidiophore development, asexual sporulation, conidia formation, ascospore formation, and spore formation. It is linked to blue light response, circadian rhythm, pigmentation, carotenoid anabolism, sphingolipid anabolism, calcium signaling, amino acid transport, homologous recombination, hyphal growth, morphogenesis, and developmental processes. The gene is also connected to stress responses, including oxidative stress response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar developmental and stress-associated processes.
