MFS — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_05637, also known as MFS, encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) transporter protein in Verticillium dahliae on chromosome DS572705. The gene product is annotated with toxin transmembrane transporter activity and general transmembrane transporter activity, and is localized to the plasmalemma. It is associated with biological processes including host invasion, secretion, and membrane transport. The gene is linked to the related gene dotC and has been connected to ATR1. Studies of related genes in other species indicate that the MFS transporter family is broadly conserved among fungal plant pathogens, though these associations are not directly established for this specific gene.
