ARF — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_09261 (ARF) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a small GTPase of the ARF/SAR family, possessing GTP binding and GTPase activity and acting as a protein membrane adaptor. The gene is associated with multiple membrane organization processes, including vesicle organization, mitochondrial membrane organization, and nuclear envelope organization. It is linked to ER-to-Golgi transport, secretion, and intracellular protein transport, as well as to positive regulation of mitotic entry and mitotic cytokinesis. Associations also include cell growth mode switching from monopolar to bipolar, mitochondrial fission, and cellular response to AOS. The encoded protein localizes to the COPII vesicle coat, ER exit sites, Golgi membrane, division septum, and cell cortex.
