RNR2 — Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4

Summary

FOC4_G10008775 (FoRNR2) encodes a ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase small subunit, a member of the RNR small family, conferring ribonucleoside-diphosphate reductase activity and metal binding. The gene is associated with regulation of DNA anabolism, deoxyribonucleotide anabolism, and purine and pyrimidine metabolism, localizing to the RNR complex, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. FoRNR2 is associated with cell cycle progression, including G1/S and G2/M phase transitions, mitotic and meiotic processes, sporulation, and colony morphology. It is linked to desiccation resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, UV resistance, anaerobic growth, chronological lifespan, adhesion, and prion inheritance. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress response.
