aurF — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G05599 (aurF) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO-like) with N,N-dimethylaniline monooxygenase activity, NADP binding, and FAD or FADH2 binding. The gene is associated with pigment, flavonoid, and polyketide anabolism, as well as alkaloid metabolism, and its product is localized to the extracellular region and membrane. It is linked to the related gene AURF and the protein cfoE. Related genes in other species, including resA, ptmN, vioO1, and cocE, connect the family to diverse secondary metabolite pathways, though these associations are not yet established in F. graminearum.
