bik6 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_11984 (bik6) on chromosome 13 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transporters. The gene is associated with xenobiotic, spermidine, and spermine transmembrane transporter activities, and with biological processes including peptide transport, fluconazole transport, spermidine and spermine transport, and xenobiotic detoxification by transmembrane export across the plasma membrane. Its product has been linked to localization at the fungal-type vacuole, Golgi complex, endoplasmic reticulum, and plasmalemma. The gene is related to MFS2 and has been connected to the pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. Related genes in other species link the family to similar transport functions.
