ctf1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_17578 (symbol ctf1) in Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 on chromosome supercont2.56 encodes a Zn2Cys6 DNA-binding domain transcription factor with DNA-binding transcription factor activity specific to RNA polymerase II. The gene is associated with activation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis, positive regulation of metabolism, secretion, and DNA-dependent transcription, and its product localises to the nucleus. It is also linked to the proteins ads-1 (CDR4) and TRF1 (PKS19). Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to fusarium ear blight and blast disease in rice, though these associations are not established for this specific gene.
