SAT17 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU07743 (SAT17) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 5 encodes a protein with an AlphaKG-dependent hydroxylase domain, belonging to the TauD/TfdA-like family, and is annotated with redox activity. This gene is associated with protoperithecium formation and melanin anabolism. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to taurine catabolism dioxygenase TauD and broader dioxygenase functions, though these associations are not established for SAT17 itself.
