NIA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_20246 (NIA) on chromosome 11 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with sulfite oxidase activity, nitrate reductase (NADPH) activity, moco binding, molybdenum ion binding, cytochrome-b5 reductase activity acting on NAD(P)H, FAD binding, heme binding, and redox activity. The product belongs to the mopterin oxidoreductase eukaryotic family. NIA is associated with nitrate assimilation, nitric oxide anabolism, anaerobic respiration, sulfur metabolism, and invasive growth. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to nitrate reductase (NADPH) activity (EC 1.7.1.3).
