LIP1 — Fusarium culmorum CS7071

Summary

FCUL_05954.1 (TRI8) on Fusarium culmorum chromosome 2 encodes a secreted lipase, belonging to the Lipase_secreted and AB_hydrolase families, with lipase and TAG activity. This gene is associated with lipolysis, filamentous growth, and cellular responses to starvation and biotic stimuli. It is localized to the extracellular region. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to reduced virulence, though this has not been established for F. culmorum. The gene is also connected to the triacylglycerol lipase enzyme class (EC 3.1.1.3).
