CLCA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoCLCA (FOXG_05408) on chromosome 7 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain-containing protein, a fungal-specific transcription factor with DNA-binding and zinc-binding activity. It is localised to the nucleus and associated with DNA-dependent transcription. The gene is linked to the Fol:2DPI and Fol:In_vitro conditions, and to the PRJNA841073 dataset. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to reduced virulence and to associations with Solanum lycopersicum and Triticum, as well as to fusarium head blight and fusarium ear blight. The family also includes members with JmjC and EcdB-like regulator domains.
