eas — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU08457 (eas) on Neurospora crassa chromosome 2 encodes a hydrophobin, a structural constituent of the cell wall. This gene is associated with conidiophore development, asexual sporulation, conidia formation, spore dispersal, and spore wall localisation. It is linked to cell wall organization, morphogenesis, developmental induction, and the formation of infection structures. Additional associations include circadian rhythm, signal transduction, calcium signaling, sphingolipid anabolism, translation initiation, membrane transport, and hypersensitivity. The gene has also been connected to the oxidative stress response.
