HH1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VdHH1 (VDAG_09418) in Verticillium dahliae encodes a DnaJ domain-containing protein, binding Hsp70 and other chaperone proteins, and also possesses nucleic acid binding and zinc binding capabilities. The gene is associated with ethylene anabolism, negative regulation of response to drug, nucleophagy, cytoplasm protein quality control, mitochondrial outer membrane protein import, peroxisome matrix protein import, ER-phagy, protein refolding, spore germination, translation initiation, protein folding, and the meiotic cell cycle. It localises to the protein aggregate center, PAS, cell tip, cell division site, ER, mitochondria, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Related genes in other species link the family to histone H1/H5 domains and vesicle transport components.
