PR1 — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_03824.1 (symbol PR1, also known as RRT12) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium culmorum encodes a subtilisin-like serine-type endopeptidase with metal-binding capacity, belonging to the peptidase S8 family. This gene is associated with defense response, proteolysis, vacuolar localization, spore formation, and cell cycle processes, and its product is localized extracellularly. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to peptidase activity (EC 3.4.21.64) and to unaffected pathogenicity.
