ARF1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_09094 (ARF1) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a small GTPase of the ARF/SAR family, with GTP-binding and GTPase activity, and is annotated as a protein membrane adaptor. The gene is associated with ER-to-Golgi transport, secretion, and intracellular protein transport. It is linked to positive regulation of mitotic entry and regulation of mitotic cytokinesis, as well as cell growth mode switching from monopolar to bipolar. ARF1 is also associated with cellular response to AOS and localizes to the cell cortex, division septum, Golgi complex, and plasmalemma. Related genes in other species link the family to small GTPase-mediated signal transduction (EC 3.6.5.2).
