LIP1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_16555, designated FoLIP1 (also known as LIP6, FoTRI8, and other synonyms) on chromosome 11 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287, encodes a secreted lipase belonging to the Lipase_secreted and AB_hydrolase families. The gene is associated with lipolysis, secretion, and cellular responses to starvation, as well as filamentous growth in response to both starvation and biotic stimuli. It is also linked to triacylglycerol (TAG) activity. Studies of related genes in other Fusarium species connect the family to triacylglycerol lipase activity (EC 3.1.1.3). The product is predicted to be extracellular.
