SEC11 — Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4

Summary

FoC4_G10007871 (FoSEC11) on chromosome KB726989 of Fusarium odoratissimum str. race 4 encodes a serine-type endopeptidase with signal peptidase activity, belonging to the peptidase S26 family. The gene is associated with the signal peptidase complex and linked to protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum, secretion, and cellular localization. Phenotypic associations include decreased protein secretion, abnormal colony appearance, decreased biofilm formation, and abnormal vegetative growth, as well as changes in chemical compound accumulation and competitive fitness. The gene is also connected to responses to hydrogen peroxide and temperature shifts. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to increased chemical compound excretion and protein accumulation.
