VE1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_06763, also known as VE1, VdVE1 or VdVEA, encodes a protein containing a Velvet domain. In Verticillium dahliae, this gene is associated with defense response, innate immunity, cell death, cell wall modification, endocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis, regulation of secondary metabolism, phenylpropanoid metabolism, mycotoxin anabolism, spore formation, mycose biosynthesis, virus-induced post-transcriptional gene silencing, DNA-dependent transcription, and PRR signaling pathway. The encoded protein localises to both the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Related genes in other species are linked to sporogenesis, germination rate, oxidative stress response, and reduced virulence.
