PYR4 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU09400 (PYR4) in Neurospora crassa encodes a PaxB-like protein with lyase and isomerase activities. The gene is associated with aflatoxin metabolism, aflatoxin anabolism, terpenoid anabolism, DNA integration, homologous recombination, mitotic recombination, gene conversion, and regeneration. Its product is localized to the membrane. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress response. The gene is also connected to esdpB and spyD in unrecorded species.
