DCL1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgDCL1 (FGRAMPH1_01G28097) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with RNase III, PAZ, helicase, and dsRNA-binding domains. It has ribonuclease III activity, helicase activity, and binds RNA, DNA, and ATP. In this fungus, FgDCL1 is associated with siRNA processing, antiviral response and its regulation, sexual reproduction, conidia formation, hyphal growth, and methylation. It localises to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to reduced virulence.
