MTR — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgMTR (FGRAMPH1_01G22531) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with an AA_transpt_TM domain and L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is annotated to amino acid membrane transport and localises to the membrane. FgMTR is associated with the MTR gene. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to amino acid transport and, through sequence similarity, to tyrosinase and hemocyanin domains, though these connections are not established for FgMTR itself.
