LIP3 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_15083 (LIP3) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the alpha/beta hydrolase family, with annotated chlorogenate hydrolase and triacylglycerol lipase activities. The gene is associated with lipolysis, lipid metabolism, and secretion, and its product is localized to the extracellular space. LIP3 is linked to the related genes LIP1 and LIP3 within the same species. Related genes in other species connect the family to EC 3.1.1.42 (chlorogenate hydrolase) and EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) activities, though these associations are not yet established for this specific gene.
