CHS7 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_07708 (symbol CHS7) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with molecular function linked to unfolded protein binding (GO:0051082). The gene is associated with cell wall biogenesis, chitin anabolism, cell wall organization, homologous recombination, protein folding, and protein transport, and its product localizes to the ER membrane. It has been connected to the pathogen's in vitro growth and to 4 days post-inoculation (4DPI) in tomato. Related genes in other species are linked to reduced virulence and turgor pressure, and the gene has been associated with vascular wilt disease in tomato.
