PAL2 — Verticillium dahliae

Summary

VDAG_05831 (PAL2) on chromosome DS572705 of Verticillium dahliae encodes a protein with aromatic lyase and L-aspartase-like domains and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity. The gene is associated with phenylpropanoid metabolism, cinnamic acid anabolism, L-phenylalanine breakdown, alkaloid metabolism, and the metabolic burst, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. PAL2 is linked to the related gene clz10 and to cctP1 and lenB. Related genes in other species, including Verticillium nonalfalfae and several Fusarium species, connect the encoded phenylalanine/histidine ammonia-lyase to the EC numbers 4.3.1.24 and 5.4.3.10.
