DIM-2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgDIM-2 (FGRAMPH1_01G20415) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein containing a C5-methyltransferase domain, a BAH domain, and a DUF7893 domain, classifying it as a DNA (cytosine-5-)-methyltransferase. The gene is associated with methylation, ascus development, and sexual reproduction, based on ontology annotations. Studies of related genes in other species link the DIM-2 family to DNA methylation processes, though these associations are not yet established in F. graminearum.
