cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_14343 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 15 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1 and MULE transposase domains. The gene product is annotated with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase, and redox activities, and binds phosphopantetheine. It is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, and methylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ligase (EC 6.3.2.-) and acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities.
