LIP1 — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G13101 (LIP1, also known as Tri8) in Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a secreted lipase belonging to the AB hydrolase family, with lipase and triacylglycerol (TAG) activity. This gene is associated with lipolysis, sexual reproduction, filamentous growth, and cellular responses to starvation and biotic stimuli. It is localized extracellularly. The gene is also linked to the TRI8 protein, which is involved in T-2 toxin biology, and to LIP2, associated with IL-17. Related genes in other species connect the family to host-pathogen interactions. LIP1 is therefore associated with lipid metabolism, development, and stress responses.
