Secondary Accession Numbers None
Name Developmental and secondary metabolism regulator veA
Synonyms
  1. Velvet complex subunit A
Gene Name VEA
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Not Available
Specific Function Component of the velvet transcription factor complex that controls sexual/asexual developmental ratio in response to light, promoting sexual development in the darkness while stimulating asexual sporulation under illumination (By similarity). The velvet complex hat acts as a global regulator for secondary metabolite gene expression (By similarity). Controls the expression of hundreds of genes, including those comprising more than a dozen known secondary metabolite gene clusters (PubMed:24116213). Controls the expression of the gliotoxin gene cluster (PubMed:23087369). Controls the expression of the fumagillin, fumitremorgin G, fumigaclavine C and glionitrin gene clusters (PubMed:24116213). The regulation of the fumagillin gene cluster and fumagillin production is performed through direct control of the expression of fumR (PubMed:24116213). Negatively regulates conidiation (PubMed:22970834, PubMed:23087369). Required for normal protease activity (PubMed:23087369).
