TRI6 — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_05635.1 (TRI6) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium culmorum encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription regulator belonging to the Tscrpt_reg_Tri6 family, with nucleic acid binding and zinc-binding molecular functions. The gene is associated with regulation of DNA-templated transcription, pigmentation, proteolysis, homologous recombination, and translation, and its product localises to the nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to reduced virulence and unaffected pathogenicity, though these phenotypes are not established for F. culmorum itself.
