HH1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VdHH1 (VDAG_08213) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein with a Histone_H1/H5 domain, placing it in the H1/H5 linker histone family. The gene is associated with ethylene anabolism and spore germination, based on ontology annotations. It is also linked to the related gene NPKA. Studies of the gene family in other species connect it to a wide range of domains such as vesicle transport v-SNAREs, ARF GTPase-activating proteins, and growth transcription regulators, though these associations are not established for VdHH1 itself. The gene is located on chromosome DS572713.
