TEF1 — Fusarium oxysporum Fo47

Summary

FoTEF1 (FOZG_08502) on chromosome JH717900 of Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 encodes a translation elongation factor with GTPase activity, GTP binding, and translation elongation factor activity, and belongs to the eukaryotic/archaeal elongation factor 1A family. It is associated with translation elongation, translation, and fermentation, and localises to the cytoplasm. The gene is linked to numerous phenotypes including absent spore wall formation, abnormal prion inheritance and formation, cell cycle progression through G2/M phase, absent pheromone sensitivity, abnormal shmoo formation, abnormal pseudohyphal growth, delayed autophagy, delayed pexophagy, increased necrotic cell death, absent nuclear export, increased rate of carbon source utilisation, increased rate of nutrient uptake, decreased rate of budding, absent meiosis, and absent innate thermotolerance. Related genes in other species are linked to days to silk and protein content in maize, and to interactions with yeast genes such as ZPR1 and EFB1.
