FBX15 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_00768 (MoFBX15) on chromosome 5 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an F-box domain-containing protein belonging to the FBXO47 family. The gene is associated with desumoylation, sumoylation, proteolysis, the ERAD pathway, the ER stress response, the cell cycle, circadian rhythm, and protein breakdown. It has been linked to blast disease in rice (Oryza sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Studies of related genes in other species, such as Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum pathovars, connect the family to oxidative stress response.
