cat1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_06062 (cat1) on Verticillium dahliae chromosome DS572707 encodes a proline-specific permease, an amino acid permease family protein with L-proline, L-arginine and L-lysine transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with amino acid membrane transport, proline, arginine and lysine import into the cell, regulation of nitrogen utilization, filamentous growth, and metabolic burst. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane at the cell tip, medial membrane band, fungal-type cell wall, vacuole, Golgi membrane, ER, and cell division site.
