Identification and Expression Analysis of Sugar Transporter Gene Family in Aspergillus oryzae.

ABSTRACT: Sugar transporter (SUT) genes are associated with multiple physiological and biochemical processes in filamentous fungi, such as the response to various stresses. However, limited systematic analysis and functional information of SUT gene family have been available on Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae). To investigate the potential roles of SUTs in A. oryzae, we performed an integrative analysis of the SUT gene family in this study. Based on the conserved protein domain search, 127 putative SUT genes were identified in A. oryzae and further categorized into eight distinct subfamilies. The result of gene structure and conserved motif analysis illustrated functional similarities among the AoSUT proteins within the same subfamily. Additionally, expression profiles of t
