GRX1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G02903 (GRX1) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a glutaredoxin, a member of the glutaredoxin subfamily within the thioredoxin-like superfamily. The gene product is annotated with glutathione disulfide oxidoreductase and glutathione peroxidase activities, and is associated with the cellular response to oxidative stress. The protein localises to the cytoplasm, cytosol and nucleus. GRX1 is linked to related genes in other species, and sequence similarity connects the family to cytoplasmic effector functions. No direct associations with agronomic traits such as yield or disease tolerance have been established for this gene in F. graminearum.
