OB031 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU08332 (OB031, hex-1) in Neurospora crassa on chromosome 1 encodes a protein with domains including Hex1_S1, translation elongation factor IF5A-like, and ribosomal uL2, and is annotated with translation termination factor activity, translation elongation factor activity, ribosome binding, and RNA binding. The gene is associated with Woronin body localisation, porous cell septum, and cross wall, as well as biological processes including fruiting body formation, response to wounding, digestion, homologous recombination, and various translation-related processes such as upregulation of translational elongation, cytoplasmic translational termination, and frameshifting. Related genes in other species link the hex-1 family to Woronin body major protein, though these associations are not established for this specific gene.
