GAOA — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G00679 (GAOA) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with galactose oxidase activity and metal-binding capability, belonging to a family that includes FA58C, glyoxal oxidase N-terminal, and kelch-repeat domains. The product is associated with detection of bacteria, DNA amplification, and fermentation, and is localized to the extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the enzyme class EC 1.1.3.9 (galactose oxidase).
