Summary

AFU2G00800 (pelA) on Aspergillus fumigatus chromosome 2 encodes a protein with a pectin lyase domain and has pectin lyase and pectate lyase activities (EC 4.2.2.10). The gene is associated with pectin breakdown, glycan biosynthesis, biofilm formation, and cell wall organization, and its product localizes to the extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to apoplastic effector functions.
