TRI12 — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_05639.1 (TRI12) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium culmorum encodes a transmembrane transporter belonging to the MFS_Str1/Tri12-like family. The gene is associated with proteolysis and localises to both the vacuolar membrane and the plasmalemma. TRI12 is associated with mycotoxin content. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the transport of diverse secondary metabolites, including the Acurin A biosynthesis cluster MFS-type transporter and the trichothecene efflux pump TRI12 itself, as well as to peroxiredoxin and phosphatase functions.
