LIP1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_01725 (LIP1) on chromosome 5 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase fold family, with annotated chlorogenate hydrolase, carboxylesterase and triacylglycerol lipase activities. The gene is associated with lipolysis, lipid metabolism, monocarboxylic acid and antibiotic biosynthesis, and secretion. Its product is localised to the cytosol and extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to EC 3.1.1.42, EC 3.1.1.1 and EC 3.1.1.3 activities, and to unaffected pathogenicity.
