LIP1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G06697 (LIP1) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a carboxylesterase/lipase of the type-B carboxylesterase family, with chlorogenate hydrolase, carboxylesterase and triacylglycerol lipase activities. The gene is associated with lipolysis, lipid metabolism, monocarboxylic acid anabolism and antibiotic anabolism. The encoded protein is linked to both extracellular and cytosolic localisation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to triacylglycerol hydrolysis and chlorogenate ester cleavage.
