vrdA — Fusarium oxysporum Fo47

Summary

FOZG_08550 (symbol vrdA) in Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 on chromosome JH717900 encodes a protein with a voltage-gated potassium channel beta-subunit-related domain and an NADP oxidoreductase domain, and exhibits versiconal reductase, versiconal hemiacetal acetate reductase, hydroxyversicolorone reductase and redox activities. The gene is associated with potassium ion membrane transport and localises to the monoatomic ion channel complex, cytosol and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 1.1.1.353 and other oxidoreductase activities.
