FGM2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G24967, symbol FGM2, on chromosome 4 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein with a PgdA-like domain and a NODB domain. The gene product is annotated with 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 to fusarium head blight.
