cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_06581 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase and redox activities, and binds phosphopantetheine. The gene is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism and methylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ligase (EC 6.3.2.-) and transferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities.
