We report the isolation and analysis of the gene encoding ftf1 (Fusarium transcription factor 1), a previously undescribed putative transcription factor from highly virulent strains of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli that is transcribed specifically during early stages of infection of its host common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). The predicted 1080 amino acid ftfl protein contains a Zn(II)2-Cys6 binuclear cluster DNA-binding motif. ftfl expression during axenic growth in culture was not detected by either Northern or RT-PCR. On the contrary, in planta transcription of ftf1 is increased about 24 It after plant inoculation, as detected by real-time RT-PCR. This result suggests that ftf1 has a role in the establishment of the fungus within the plant and/or the progress of the disease. Multiple copies of ftf1 are present in highly virulent strains of F oxysporum f.sp. phaseoli. (C) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
