ADH1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoADH1 (FOXG_16151) on chromosome 3 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity and zinc binding, belonging to the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) family. It is associated with the breakdown of acetaldehyde, ethanol, and threonine, as well as with the cellular response to farnesol. The gene product localises to the cytoplasm, mitochondrial lumen, extracellular space, and the fungal biofilm matrix. FoADH1 is linked to the related genes patD and alcC. Related genes in other species connect the family to oxidoreductase activity (EC 1.1.1.1), though these specific functions are not yet established for FoADH1 itself.
