SEC1 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VdSEC1 (VDAG_10115) on chromosome DS572726 of Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein containing Sec1-like domains and is annotated with syntaxin binding activity. The gene is associated with vesicle fusion, protein secretion, intracellular protein transport, membrane fusion, and signal transduction. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, cell tip, cell division site, cytosol, and nucleus. Phenotypic associations include delayed sporulation, decreased cell death, abnormal chitin deposition, increased ionic stress resistance, and abnormal septum formation. The gene is also linked to protein content traits.
