UBI — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_00364 (VdUBI) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a ubiquitin protein that also contains a ribosomal eL40 domain and is annotated as a structural constituent of the ribosome, a protein tag, and a zinc-binding mRNA-binding protein. It is associated with protein ubiquitination, modification-dependent proteolysis, translation, cytoplasmic translation, ribosome biogenesis, and ribosomal large subunit-nucleus export. The protein localises to the cytoplasm, cytosol, nucleus, nucleolus, ribosomes (both large and small subunits), and extracellular space. VdUBI is associated with cell cycle progression through G2/M phase transition, apoptosis, oxidative stress resistance, alkaline pH resistance, carbon source utilisation, mitophagy, micronucleophagy, peroxisomal transport and morphology, pheromone sensitivity and response, shmoo formation, colony sectoring, and transposable element transposition. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to reduced virulence and responses to acid and oxidative stress.
