GAOA — Fusarium graminearum PH-1

Summary

FGRAMPH1_01G21069 (GAOA) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium graminearum PH-1 encodes a protein with galactose oxidase activity and metal-binding capacity, belonging to the glyoxal oxidase N-terminal and kelch-repeat domain families. The gene is associated with detection of bacteria, DNA amplification, and fermentation, and its product is localized to the extracellular space. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to the enzyme class 1.1.3.9 (galactose oxidase).
