TRPB — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoTRPB (FOXG_12668, TRPB) on chromosome 9 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a tryptophan synthase beta subunit, confirmed by the annotated molecular function tryptophan synthase activity and the presence of Trp_synthase_alpha_AS, Trp_synth_beta, and TrpB-like_PALP domains. The gene is associated with the biological process of tryptophan formation and with secretion, and its product localises to the cytoplasm and cytosol. FoTRPB is linked to the related genes TRP2 and TRPB. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to tryptophan metabolism, though these associations are not established for this specific gene.
