tef-1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G06571 (tef-1) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with translation elongation factor activity and GTPase activity, belonging to the GTPBP1-like and EF-Tu_GTPase domain families. The gene product is annotated to translation elongation and GTP binding, and localises to the cytoplasm. It is also associated with mating. Related genes in other species link the family to GTP-binding protein function, and a maize relative has been associated with days to silk, though this trait association is not established in Fusarium. The gene is related to tef1 and tuf1.
