Horizontal transfer of a nitrate assimilation gene cluster and ecological transitions in fungi: a phylogenetic study.
High affinity nitrate assimilation genes in fungi occur in a cluster (fHANT-AC) that can be coordinately regulated. The clustered genes include nrt2, which codes for a high affinity nitrate transporter; euknr, which codes for nitrate reductase; and NAD(P)H-nir, which codes for nitrite reductase. Hom...
