TNR-1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoTNR-1 (FOXG_04696) on chromosome 7 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family protein with NAD(P)-binding domain and oxidoreductase activity acting on CH-OH group donors. The gene is associated with melanin anabolism and redox activity, and its product localises to the cytosol. Related genes in other species, including tetrahydroxynaphthalene reductases, link the family to melanin biosynthesis pathways. The gene has also been connected to the homologues Arp2, eriH, lxrA, and TNR-1 from unspecified sources.
