HYD1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgHYD1 (FGRAMPH1_01G20829) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein belonging to the EBP (EXPERA) domain family. This gene is associated with aggression, secondary metabolism, sporulation, and hyphal growth, as indicated by ontology annotations. The encoded product is linked to a cholestenol delta-isomerase putative orthologue in Aspergillus fumigatus, and related genes in other species, including Verticillium dahliae and various Fusarium species, are linked to these processes. No direct molecular function or enzyme class has been experimentally determined for this gene in F. graminearum.
