FDB2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G00243 (FDB2) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with an arylamine N-acetyltransferase domain and a papain-like cysteine peptidase superfamily domain, and is annotated with acetylase activity. The gene is associated with detoxification as a biological process. Studies of related genes in other species link the FDB2 family to reduced virulence and to fusarium head blight in wheat (Triticum aestivum), though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
