LIP1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_02646 (LIP1) on chromosome 5 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase family, with chlorogenate hydrolase and triacylglycerol lipase activity. The gene is associated with cholesterol metabolism, lipolysis, and secretion, and its product is localised to the extracellular space. Related genes in other species link the family to the hydrolysis of chlorogenic acid (EC 3.1.1.42) and triglycerides (EC 3.1.1.3).
