lox — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_10194 (symbol lox) on chromosome 11 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein belonging to the amine oxidase family and the FAD/NAD-binding superfamily, with L-glutamate oxidase, L-lysine oxidase and L-amino-acid oxidase activities. The gene is associated with amino acid breakdown, defense response, induced systemic resistance, and seed germination, and its product is localised extracellularly. Related genes in other species link the family to additional amine oxidase functions and EC numbers 1.4.3.2, 1.4.3.11, 1.4.3.14 and 1.4.3.25.
