veA (Aspergillus nidulans) — curation notes
UniProt C8VTV4 (VEA_EMENI). Founding velvet-superfamily member; light-dependent
coordinator of development and secondary metabolism. Velvet tier of the
conidiation_regulatory_cascade module.
- In the dark VeA bridges VelB and LaeA to form the velvet complex. PMID:21152013; PMID:21152013.
- Light-dependent nucleocytoplasmic partitioning (nuclear in dark): many EXP
nucleus/cytoplasm annotations, all ACCEPT.
- Regulation of secondary metabolic process ACCEPT (velvet complex). Regulation of
sulfur metabolic process (IEA/ARBA) kept non-core (unconfirmed for VeA).
- No molecular_function asserted: VeA's characterized role is complex-bridging /
light response rather than a defined enzymatic or DNA-binding activity.
