TRI12 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G13119 (TRI12) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter of the Tri12-like subfamily, with annotated citrate transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with toxin anabolism, secondary metabolism, secretion, and export across the plasma membrane, as well as with systemic acquired resistance, immune response, GABA biosynthesis, wax anabolism, citrate transport, membrane transport, proteolysis, signal transduction, translation elongation, and protein synthesis. Its product localises to the vacuolar membrane and plasmalemma. TRI12 is also linked to mycotoxin content. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to reduced virulence and fusarium head blight.
