FGM2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGM2 (FGRAMPH1_01G20963) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with a PgdA-like domain and a NODB domain. The gene product has hydrolase activity acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds and metal binding, and is associated with carbohydrate metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species link the FGM2 family to reduced virulence and fusarium head blight in Triticum aestivum.
