khs — Fusarium oxysporum Fo47

Summary

FOZG_13564 (symbol khs) in Fusarium oxysporum Fo47 on chromosome JH717905 encodes a protein with kievitone hydratase activity and lyase activity, belonging to the AttH-like domain superfamily. The gene is associated with phytoalexin catabolism, detoxification of nitrogen compounds, and secretion, and its product is localized to the extracellular. These associations link khs to the breakdown of plant defense compounds and general detoxification processes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to similar enzymatic functions, including EC 4.2.1.95 (kievitone hydratase), reinforcing its association with phytoalexin degradation.
