Tri201 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G16081, designated Tri201 on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein belonging to the secondary metabolite acyltransferase family and the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase-like domain superfamily. The gene product is annotated with acyltransferase and transferase activities and is associated with metal binding. Tri201 is linked to the trichothecene 3-O-acetyltransferase TRI101, which acts on T-2 toxin. Studies of related genes in other species, including trichothecene 3-O-acetyltransferases and the Fusarium protein FGR3, connect the family to the modification of mycotoxins. The gene is also associated with the protein ccdM.
