SUZ12 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G15003, the SUZ12 gene on chromosome 2 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein containing a Polycomb VEFS-Box and multiple zinc-finger domains (PHD, FYVE, RING/FYVE/PHD) and is annotated for zinc binding. The product is associated with chromatin organization, methylation, and DNA-dependent transcription, and is localized to the nucleus. Related genes in other species link the SUZ12 family to these same processes, though such roles are not yet established in F. graminearum itself.
