cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_16739 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 15 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with FHY3/FAR1 and MULE transposase domains, and a FAR1 DNA-binding domain. The product is annotated with ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase, and redox activities, and binds phosphopantetheine. It is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism, and methylation. Related genes in other species link the family to ligase (EC 6.3.2.-) and acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities, though these are not established for this gene.
