mtr — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G07945 (symbol mtr) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with an AA_transpt_TM domain and L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity, placing it in the amino acid permease family. The gene is annotated to amino acid membrane transport and the encoded protein localises to the membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to amino acid uptake, though this has not been established for F. graminearum. The gene is associated with the mtr locus.
