lip1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_11886 (lip1) on chromosome 13 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase family, with annotated chlorogenate hydrolase, carboxylesterase, and triacylglycerol lipase activities. The gene is associated with lipolysis, lipid metabolism, and secretion, and its product is localized to the extracellular space, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related carboxylesterase genes in other species have linked the family to unaffected pathogenicity, though this has not been established for F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici.
