FTF2 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FTF2 (FOXG_04845) on chromosome 7 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor activity, DNA binding, and zinc binding molecular functions. The protein is localised to the nucleus and is associated with DNA-dependent transcription. Studies of related genes in other species link the FTF2 family to loss of pathogenicity and to fusarium wilt.
