PMG — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgPMG (FGRAMPH1_01G16693) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a member of the amino acid permease family (APC_YAT, AA-permease/SLC12A_dom), with L-arginine and L-lysine transporter activity. The gene is associated with polyamine metabolism and transport, L-arginine and L-lysine import, regulation of nitrogen utilization, amino acid membrane transport, filamentous growth, and the meiotic cell cycle. The protein localizes to the plasma membrane, cell tip, Golgi membrane, fungal-type vacuole, cell wall, and cell division site. Phenotypic associations include increased nutrient uptake and carbon source utilization, increased fermentative growth, abnormal mitochondrial transport, premature chromosome segregation, delayed meiotic recombination, increased freeze-thaw resistance, decreased nitrogen source utilization, absent adhesion and hydrostatic pressure resistance, decreased radiation resistance, and abnormal colony shape and prion state.
