lox — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_00849 (lox) in Verticillium dahliae encodes an amine oxidase domain-containing protein with L-glutamate, L-lysine and L-amino-acid oxidase activities. This extracellular protein is associated with defense response, cell death, amino acid breakdown, arachidonic acid metabolism and lignin anabolism. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to additional amine oxidase activities (EC 1.4.3.2, 1.4.3.11, 1.4.3.14, 1.4.3.25), though these associations are not established for V. dahliae.
