lox — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G16149 (symbol lox) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with a flavin monoamine oxidase domain and amine oxidase domain, and exhibits L-glutamate, L-lysine, and L-amino-acid oxidase activities. The gene is associated with amino acid breakdown, signal transduction, seed germination, hyphal growth, and cell growth, and its product is localized extracellularly. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to L-amino-acid oxidase activity (EC 1.4.3.2) and related enzyme classes, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
