FLUG — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoFLUG (FOXG_05362) on chromosome 7 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with a glutamine synthetase N-terminal domain and amidohydrolase-related metal hydrolase domains, and is annotated as having hydrolase activity. The gene is associated with sporocarp development involved in asexual reproduction, positive regulation of conidium formation, sporulation, autolysis, and the regulation of sterigmatocystin biosynthetic processes, including positive regulation of this secondary metabolite pathway. It is linked to cytoplasmic localisation. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to reduced virulence and oxidative stress response, and to associations with fusarium wilt.
