PDF1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoPDF1 (FOXG_09152) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with a palmitoyl-protein thioesterase domain and an alpha/beta hydrolase fold, and has been annotated with dolichyldiphosphatase and palmitoyl-protein hydrolase activities. The gene is associated with protein N-linked glycosylation, chemotropism, and regulation of growth, and its product is localized to the vacuole and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to chlorophyll content, root length, and salt tolerance traits, though these associations are not yet established for FoPDF1 itself.
