lox — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_09099 (symbol lox) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein belonging to the amine oxidase family and the FAD/NAD-binding superfamily. The enzyme exhibits L-glutamate oxidase, L-lysine oxidase, and L-amino-acid oxidase activities. This gene is associated with amino acid breakdown, defense response, induced systemic resistance, and seed germination, and its product is localized extracellularly. Related genes in other species have been linked to additional oxidase activities (EC 1.4.3.2, 1.4.3.11, 1.4.3.14, 1.4.3.25).
