mycB — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_07927 (mycB) on chromosome DS572712 of Verticillium dahliae encodes an AttH domain-containing protein with isomerase activity. The gene is associated with seed germination and fermentation processes, and has been linked to plant height. Related genes include penF, DA, and ccsF. Studies of related genes in other species, such as pydB and xenF, connect the family to isomerase activity (EC 5.5.1.-), though this is not established for mycB itself.
