LIP1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_10017 (LIP1) on chromosome 11 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase family, with annotated chlorogenate hydrolase and triacylglycerol lipase activities. The gene is associated with lipid metabolism, lipolysis, cholesterol metabolism, and (M)-viriditoxin anabolism, as well as secretion and extracellular localisation. Studies of related carboxylesterases in other species link the family to EC 3.1.1.42 (chlorogenate hydrolase) and EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) activities, though these functions are not directly established for LIP1 itself.
