RTT109 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FgRTT109 (FGRAMPH1_01G28169) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a histone acetyltransferase of the Rtt109/CBP family, with histone H3K56 acetyltransferase activity. This gene is associated with perithecium formation, sporulation, filamentous growth, and phenotypic switching, as well as the regulation of gene expression and DNA-templated transcription. It is linked to the DNA damage response and morphogenesis. The product localises to the nucleus, chromatin, and vacuole.
