ARF — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_16931 (ARF) on chromosome 13 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a small GTPase of the ARF/SAR family, with GTPase activity, GTP binding, G protein activity and protein membrane adaptor function. The gene is associated with vesicle transport, ER-to-Golgi transport, secretion, intracellular protein transport, protein folding, tubulin assembly, regulation of mitotic cytokinesis, positive regulation of mitotic entry, cell growth mode switching from monopolar to bipolar, and cellular response to AOS. Its product localises to the Golgi membrane, COPII-coated vesicle membrane, microtubule cytoskeleton, division septum, cell cortex, cell division site and interphase node. Related genes in other species are linked to small GTPase-mediated signalling and membrane trafficking.
