pepA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_14243 (pepA) on chromosome 14 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a member of the PEPTIDASE_A1 family, containing an aspartic peptidase domain, with aspartic endopeptidase activity. The gene is associated with proteolysis and secretion, and its product is localized to the extracellular space. This aspartic endopeptidase is linked to the related gene pepB. Related genes in other species connect it to aspartic endopeptidase activity (EC 3.4.23.18).
