RGS1 protein V. dahliae

Biology

VdRGS1 (MG583845.1) codes for a negative regulator of G protein signaling in V. dahliae and plays a role in many development stages of the fungus including spore germination, hyphal development, spore production, and microsclerotia formation [1].
The RGS1 protein is part of the G signaling pathway. By assisting the Gα subunit hydrolyse GTP it turns off the G protein-coupled signaling pathways and stops downstream signals [2].

Use

This protein can potentially be a great target for impairing fungal growth through the RNAi mechanism of V. dahliae [1]. We designed this part to test if our bacteria could produce dsRNA targeting this fungal protein.
