FAD1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_07996 (VdFAD1) of Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein with FMN adenylyltransferase activity (EC 2.7.7.2), also annotated for hydrolase activity, ATP and metal binding, and containing a PAPS_reduct domain and Rossmann-like fold. The gene is associated with FMN metabolism, FAD biosynthesis, and oxidative phosphorylation, and its product has been linked to mitochondrial, cytosolic, and nuclear localisation. Studies of related genes in other species further associate the family with these conserved metabolic processes, though such roles are not yet established for this specific gene.
