SOD2 — Fusarium oxysporum Fo47

Summary

FoSOD2 (FOZG_02674) on chromosome JH717897 of Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 encodes a manganese/iron superoxide dismutase (Mn/Fe_SOD) with superoxide dismutase activity and manganese binding, localised to mitochondria and cytosol. The gene is associated with evasion or tolerance of host-produced reactive oxygen species, removal of superoxide radicals, and protein synthesis. It is linked to photosynthetic rate, as well as diverse phenotypes including altered carbon utilisation, protein activity, chemical compound accumulation, polyploidy, anaerobic growth, fermentative growth, necrotic cell death, mating type switching, respiratory metabolism, hydrostatic pressure resistance, nucleophagy, freeze-thaw resistance, cell cycle progression, stationary phase entry, ribophagy, mitochondrial transport, pheromone sensitivity, radiation resistance, alkaline pH resistance, spore wall formation, and septum formation. Related genes in other species link the family to oxidative stress response and sodium concentration.
