cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_14088 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 6 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1, MULE transposase, and FAR1 DNA-binding domains, and is annotated with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase, and redox activities, as well as phosphopantetheine binding. The gene is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, and methylation. Related genes in other species, including Verticillium dahliae, are linked to chemotaxis and fatty acid metabolism, though these associations are not yet established in this species.
