aurT — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G05589 (aurT) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transmembrane transporters. The gene product is annotated as having transmembrane transporter activity and is associated with pigment anabolism. Subcellular localisation evidence links the protein to the peroxisome membrane, endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and plasma membrane. Related genes in other species, including olcL, GIP4, VdtG, roqT, aflT, cdmB, vioT, astH, and MFS1, are linked to the transport of diverse secondary metabolites, though these associations are not directly established for aurT itself.
