cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_06312 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 2 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with ketoacyl-ACP synthase activity and fatty acid synthase activity, along with ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase and redox activities, and binds phosphopantetheine. The gene is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism and methylation. It is linked to expression at 2, 4 and 6 days post-inoculation in tomato and under in vitro conditions.
