cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_06663 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1, MULE transposase and FAR1 DNA binding domains, and is annotated with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase and redox activities, as well as phosphopantetheine binding. 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.
