ARG2 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07682, designated ARG2 (also known as arg-14 or NcARG6) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 4, encodes a protein with a GlcNAc_Synth_fun domain and a vertebrate-like GNAT domain that possesses acetyl-CoA:L-glutamate N-acetyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.1). This gene is associated with ornithine anabolism, arginine anabolism, and broader amino acid anabolism, as well as with developmental growth and response to amino acid levels. The encoded product localises to the mitochondrial lumen and mitochondria.
