Protein Domain : IPR002409

Type:  Family Name:  Aflatoxin biosynthesis regulatory protein
Description:  Aflatoxins belong to a family of decaketides that are produced as secondary metabolites by Aspergillus flavusand Aspergillus parasiticus[]. The aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway involves several enzymatic steps that appear to be regulated by the aflR genes in A. flavus and A. parasiticus. AflR encodes a protein that contains a cysteine-rich motif. Several fungal transcriptional activator proteins contain this motif, which binds DNA in a zinc-dependent fashion (occurs in fungal transcriptional regulatory proteins) [, ].Aflatoxin biosynthesis regulatory protein is involved in the regulation of aflatoxin biosynthesis and may have a role in nitrate assimilation and sclerotial morphogenesis.
