ELV1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_03883 (symbol ELV1) in Verticillium dahliae (chromosome DS572700) encodes a protein belonging to the Egh16-like family and is annotated with monooxygenase activity and metal binding. The gene is associated with morphogenesis and localised to both the extracellular space and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the ELV1 family to reduced virulence and an apoplastic effector function, and the family has been connected to blast disease in rice.
