cheA — Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287

Summary

FOXG_22384 (symbol cheA) on chromosome 6 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici 4287 encodes a protein with a FAR1 DNA-binding domain and multiple enzymatic activities, including ketoacyl-ACP synthase, fatty acid synthase, ligase, isomerase, methyltransferase and redox activities, as well as phosphopantetheine binding. The gene is associated with chemotaxis, toxin anabolism, fatty acid anabolism and methylation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to ligase (EC 6.3.2.-) and transferase (EC 2.3.1.-) activities.
