NMR — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VdNMR (VDAG_01367) on chromosome DS572696 of Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein with an NmrA-like oxidoreductase domain and NAD(P)-binding domain superfamily, annotated for NADP+, NAD+ and NAD binding and redox activity. The gene is associated with nitrogen catabolite repression of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoters, regulation of nitrogen utilization, and downregulation of transcription. It has also been linked to melanin anabolism and hyphal growth. The encoded protein localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the NmrA family to nitrogen content traits, though this is not established for V. dahliae.
