PEX31 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_09094, designated VdPEX31, encodes a peroxisomal membrane protein PEX30, containing a Peroxin/Ferlin domain and belonging to the Peroxisomal_PEX28-32 family. In Verticillium dahliae, this gene is associated with peroxisome organization, heterotrophy, sporulation, and hypersensitivity. The encoded protein localizes to the peroxisome membrane, ER membrane, and endomembrane system. Related genes in other species, including Verticillium nonalfalfae and various Fusarium species, are linked to this gene by sequence similarity.
