SCP — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_05039 (VdSCP, SCP) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a serine-type exopeptidase belonging to the peptidase S28 and alpha/beta hydrolase families, with dipeptidyl-peptidase and carboxypeptidase activities. The gene is associated with proteolysis and cell death, and its product localises to the extracellular space and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species, including Verticillium nonalfalfae and several Fusarium species, connect the family to broader fungal biology, though these associations are not established for VdSCP directly.
