het-6 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07527 (het-6) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 3 encodes a heterokaryon incompatibility domain-containing protein, belonging to the HetReg/Transcr_Mod and HET domain families. This gene is associated with programmed cell death, cell death, organelle disassembly, DNA breakdown, asexual reproduction, mating, and meiosis. Related genes in other species link the family to similar processes, though these associations are not established for het-6 itself.
