KDX1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoKDX1 (FOXG_05092) on chromosome 7 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) of the p38-like family, possessing serine/threonine kinase activity and ATP binding. This gene is associated with the regulation of melanin and chitin anabolism, cell wall organization, appressorium formation, calcium-mediated signaling, and the pheromone response MAPK cascade. It is linked to cellular thermotolerance, growth rate, and cell shape regulation, and localizes to the cytoplasm, nucleus, mitotic spindle pole body, and cell division site. FoKDX1 has been connected to virulence, sporulation, cell cycle progression, stress resistance, and carbon source utilization. Related genes in other species link the family to the cell integrity MAPK cascade and pathogenicity.
