LYS2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_02787 (LYS2) on chromosome 7 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a fatty acyl-CoA reductase with alcohol-forming long-chain fatty acyl-CoA reductase activity (EC 1.2.1.84). The product also exhibits L-aminoadipate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, ligase, transferase, and phosphopantetheine binding activities, and belongs to the FAR domain family. LYS2 is associated with long-chain fatty acyl-CoA metabolism, lysine anabolism, amino acid activation for nonribosomal peptide biosynthetic processes, and indole alkaloid anabolism. The protein localises to the peroxisome and cytoplasm. The gene is related to lcsA in this species.
