SCP5 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_08251 (SCP5) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein belonging to the glycoside hydrolase superfamily, containing an Asl1_glyco_hydro_catalytic domain. The gene is annotated to the fungal-type cell wall polysaccharide metabolic process and spore germination, and its product localizes to the fungal-type cell wall. Studies of related genes in other species, including Verticillium nonalfalfae and several Fusarium species, connect the family to similar cell wall and germination processes, though these findings are not yet established for V. dahliae.
