lox — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_15688 (lox) on chromosome 2 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an amine oxidase domain-containing protein with L-glutamate, L-lysine, and L-amino-acid oxidase activities. The gene is associated with the lipoxygenase pathway, defense response, induced systemic resistance, and response to salicylate. It has also been connected to hyphal growth, cell growth, cellular respiration, transpiration, chlorophyll fluorescence, terpenoid anabolism, and amino acid breakdown. The encoded product is localized extracellularly. Additionally, lox is linked to stomatal resistance and transpiration rate. Related genes in other species associate the family with L-amino-acid oxidase activity (EC 1.4.3.2, 1.4.3.11, 1.4.3.14, 1.4.3.25).
