ERG25 — Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4

Summary

FOC4_G10007842 (ERG25) on chromosome KB726989 of Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4 encodes a fatty acid hydroxylase domain protein with iron binding and redox activity. The gene is associated with sterol and ergosterol anabolism, the electron transport chain, and spore germination, and its product localises to the ER membrane. Expression of this gene has been linked to responses to hydrogen peroxide, Congo Red, elevated temperature (35°C), NaCl, and the biological control agent NK51. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sterol desaturase-related functions.
