ZEB2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G05755, symbol ZEB2, on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein containing bZIP and Sec_Metab_Biosynth_Reg domains. The protein has DNA-binding transcription factor activity and transcription regulator activator activity and localises to the nucleus. It is associated with the zearalenone biosynthetic process, secondary metabolism, and DNA-dependent transcription. Related genes in other species are linked to unaffected pathogenicity and associations with fusarium ear blight on barley and wheat hosts.
