SLP2 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgSLP2 (FGRAMPH1_01G27445) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein containing Band 7/SPFH and stomatin-like domains, placing it in the stomatin family. The gene is associated with mitochondrial inner membrane localisation and with the biological processes of mitochondrial membrane organization, mitochondrial biogenesis, cell death, and signal transduction. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar membrane-associated functions, though these roles are not yet established for FgSLP2 itself.
