GAS1 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FoGAS1 (FOXG_18811) on chromosome 4 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici encodes a glucanosyltransferase with 1,3-beta-glucanosyltransferase activity, belonging to the glycoside hydrolase superfamily and containing an X8 domain. This gene is associated with fungal-type cell wall assembly and organization, cell wall 1,3-beta-glucan metabolism and anabolism, host invasion, development of symbiont in host, adhesion of symbiont to host, single-species biofilm formation on or in the host, cell-substrate adhesion, division septum assembly, cell morphogenesis, filamentous growth, and cellular responses to pH and calcium ions. The product localizes to the cell septum edging, primary cell septum, new and old growing cell tips, sites of polarized growth, vesicles, cellular bud membrane and scar, external side of the plasma membrane, and lipid rafts. Associations include abnormal filamentous growth and absent alkaline pH resistance.
