cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_15137 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1 and MULE transposase domains. The product exhibits ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase, and redox activities, and binds phosphopantetheine. The gene 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 transferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities.
