HH1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_04387 (VdHH1, also known as VdNPKA, VdPKAC2, and STK-13) encodes a WH2 domain-containing protein with actin-binding molecular function. In Verticillium dahliae, this gene is associated with ethylene anabolism and spore germination. Studies of related genes in other species, including Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium nonalfalfae, connect the family to growth regulation and vesicle transport, though these associations are not established for VdHH1 itself. The gene is located on chromosome DS572701 and has been identified through multiple synonyms.
