FSL2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G08163 (FSL2) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with a LovG domain, an FSH domain, and an AB hydrolase domain, indicating it is a hydrolase with pigment-binding activity. The gene is associated with secondary metabolite biosynthesis and is linked to the related gene claE. Its product localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species connect the family to serine hydrolase activity and an EC classification of 3.1.2.-. Sequence similarity also links the family to several Fusarium species and Verticillium dahliae.
