VDAG_07280 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_07280 in Verticillium dahliae (chromosome DS572710) encodes a protein containing DUF6987 and DUF3659 domains. It is annotated as a virulence-associated protein. The gene has been connected to other fungal species through sequence similarity, including related genes in other species such as Verticillium nonalfalfae and Verticillium alfalfae, as well as several Fusarium oxysporum formae speciales. Studies of the gene family in other fungi associate it with late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) domain proteins and, more distantly, with phosphoglycerate/bisphosphoglycerate mutase and histidine phosphatase superfamily domains.
