I don't have an actual list of examples, but! For the purpose of the exercise (i.e. where else would inflected nouns manifest grammatical effects), I would say, really, anything that has a connection to the noun. Which depends enormously on how your language is structured.

I generally think of words as having four potential functions. One, generally considered verbs, represent changes in things (or lack of changes). Two, generally considered nouns, represent the things being affected. Three, generally considered adjectives or adverbs, are modifiers. And four are purely grammatical, like prepositions.

So, essentially, anything that the nouns could affect, grammatically, are anything that is directly grammatically related to the noun in the sentence, which are generally anything in groups one, three or four. Verbs happening to the nouns, modifiers modifying the nouns, prepositions et al. indicating the grammatical function of the nouns.

In short, the only thing I know of that can't be modified grammatically by a noun's gender/class is another noun.
