FSL3 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G08161, designated FSL3 on chromosome 1 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1, encodes a protein with an aldose 1-epimerase domain and a GH-type carbohydrate-binding domain. The gene product exhibits aldose 1-epimerase activity and sugar binding, and is associated with the Leloir pathway and glucose metabolism. It is localized to the extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to galactose mutarotase and aldose 1-epimerase family proteins.
