LIP3 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_15813 (LIP3) on chromosome 8 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a carboxylesterase belonging to the CarbesteraseB and AB_hydrolase domain families. The gene product exhibits chlorogenate hydrolase, carboxylesterase, and triacylglycerol lipase activities, and is associated with lipolysis and secretion. It is localized to the extracellular. Studies of related genes in other Fusarium species link the family to carboxylesterase and triacylglycerol lipase activities (EC 3.1.1.1, 3.1.1.3, and 3.1.1.42).
