ZEB1 — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_10952.1 (ZEB1) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium culmorum encodes a protein with isomerase, polyketide synthase, and FAD-binding activities, and is linked to redox activity. The gene is associated with the zearalenone biosynthetic process, patulin anabolism, and alkaloid metabolism. Its product localises to the vacuolar lumen, fungal-type vacuole lumen, vacuole, and extracellular space. ZEB1 is also associated with mycotoxin content. The protein belongs to the FAD-linked oxidoreductases, BBE, and related domain families. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to FAD-dependent oxidoreductase functions and isomerase activity.
