LIP3 — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_20390 (LIP3) on chromosome 1 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with carboxylesterase activity and triacylglycerol lipase activity, belonging to the CarbesteraseB and AB_hydrolase domain families. The gene is associated with lipolysis, cholesterol metabolism, and (M)-viriditoxin anabolism, and its product is linked to secretion and extracellular localisation. LIP3 is also connected to the related gene VdtD. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to EC 3.1.1.1 (carboxylesterase) and EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) activities.
