TRI7 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G13103, designated TRI7 on chromosome 2 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein containing a wax synthase domain. The gene is associated with toxin anabolism, specifically linked to T-2 toxin production, as well as terpenoid anabolism, lipid metabolism, translation elongation, signal transduction, and sweating. Its product is predicted to localize to the membrane. Studies of related genes in other species connect the broader protein family to acyltransferase activity (EC 2.3.1.-).
