rga2 — Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4

Summary

FOC4_G10015244 (rga2) on chromosome KB726996 of Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4 encodes a Rho GTPase-activating protein (RhoGAP) with a PX domain and a PH domain, and has been annotated with GAP activity, small GTPase binding, phosphoinositide binding, and metal binding. This gene is associated with the positive regulation of bipolar cell polarity and cell shape, regulation of actin cable assembly, mitotic division septum assembly, negative regulation of the cell integrity MAPK cascade, and regulation of cell wall 1,3-alpha-glucan anabolism. It is linked to localization at the cleavage furrow, actomyosin contractile ring, growing cell tip, and site of polarized growth. The gene is also connected to differential expression under Congo Red stress and in comparisons between TR4 isolates and various Fusarium strains.
