GST1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VdGST1 (VDAG_04653) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a glutathione S-transferase with glutathione transferase, glutathione peroxidase, phosphoprotein binding, and transcription corepressor activities. It is associated with defense response, nitrate assimilation, regulation of nitrogen utilization, protein urmylation, virus-induced PTGS, protein localization, and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm. Phenotypic associations include altered cell cycle progression, mating type switching, prion inheritance, stress resistance (hypoosmotic, alkaline pH, hydrostatic pressure), nutrient and carbon source utilization, fermentative growth, adhesion, nuclear and vacuolar transport, and sterility. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress response, calcium sensitivity, and phosphate content.
