cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_16676 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 15 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1, MULE transposase, and FAR1 DNA-binding domains, and is annotated with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase, and redox activities, as well as phosphopantetheine binding. 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 acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities.
