lox — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_05815 (symbol lox) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with an amine oxidase domain and a FAD/NAD-binding superfamily domain, and has L-amino-acid oxidase activity. This gene is associated with induced systemic resistance, seed germination, amino acid breakdown, and defense response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to L-amino-acid oxidase (EC 1.4.3.2) and to flavonoid content.
