ACS2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_00689 (ACS2) on chromosome 5 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a propionate-CoA ligase with amide synthase, acetate-CoA ligase, AMP-binding and ATP-binding activities. The gene is associated with ethylene anabolism, pyruvate fermentation to acetate, acetate breakdown, acetyl-CoA anabolism, heterotrophy, defense response, immune response, and cell death. Its product has been linked to the nucleolus, extracellular region, endoplasmic reticulum, and cytosol. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to acetate-CoA ligase activity (EC 6.2.1.1).
