PEP — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_00934.1 (symbol pep, preferred name MAS1) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium culmorum encodes a protein with quinol-cytochrome-c reductase and metalloendopeptidase activities, and is a component of the mitochondrial processing peptidase complex. The gene is associated with mitochondrial electron transport (ubiquinol to cytochrome c), aerobic respiration, protein processing involved in mitochondrial targeting, proteolysis, protein import, and cell differentiation. The encoded protein localises to the mitochondrial inner membrane, crista, and lumen, and is part of complex III. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to mitochondrial processing peptidase function and, more distantly, to manganese concentration traits.
