nit2 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_09018 (symbol nit2) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein belonging to the nitrilase/cyanide hydratase family, with annotated arylacetonitrilase, hydro-lyase and aminoacyl-tRNA ligase activities. The gene is associated with nitrate metabolism and nitrate assimilation. Related genes in other species link the family to nitrate transport, nitrate uptake, nitrogen content and molybdenum content. Phenotypic associations from those relatives include altered vegetative growth rate, competitive fitness, chronological lifespan, heat sensitivity, hyperosmotic stress resistance, mitophagy, autophagy and chemical resistance.
