PMG — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgPMG (FGRAMPH1_01G20731) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a member of the amino acid permease family (APC_YAT, AA-permease/SLC12A_dom), with molecular functions including L-arginine transporter activity, L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity, and amino acid permease activity. The gene is associated with polyamine metabolism and transport, L-arginine and L-lysine import, regulation of nitrogen utilization, amino acid membrane transport, excretion, filamentous growth, and the meiotic cell cycle. It localizes to the plasma membrane, cell tip, medial membrane band, fungal-type cell wall, vacuole, Golgi membrane, 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, decreased nitrogen source utilization, absent adhesion and hydrostatic pressure resistance, and increased freeze-thaw and ionic stress resistance.
