| UniProt functional annotation for P00590 | |||
| UniProt code: P00590. |
| Organism: | Fusarium vanettenii (Neocosmospora pisi). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Pezizomycotina; Sordariomycetes; Hypocreomycetidae; Hypocreales; Nectriaceae; Fusarium; Fusarium solani species complex. | |
| Function: | Catalyzes the hydrolysis of cutin, a polyester that forms the structure of plant cuticle. Allows pathogenic fungi to penetrate through the cuticular barrier into the host plant during the initial stage of the fungal infection. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Cutin + H(2)O = cutin monomers.; EC=3.1.1.74; Evidence={ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10108, ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU10109}; | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted. | |
| Induction: | By contact with cutin. | |
| Ptm: | The 2 disulfide bonds play a critical role in holding the catalytic residues in juxta-position; reduction of the disulfide bridges results in the complete inactivation of the enzyme. | |
| Ptm: | O-glycosylated; contains one mole each of mannose, arabinose, N- acetylglucosamine, and glucuronic acid. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7398618}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cutinase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
