NED1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_01311 (MoNED1) in Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a lipin-family protein with phosphatidate phosphatase activity and magnesium binding. The gene is associated with nucleus organization, endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membrane organization, lipid storage, DNA condensation, and triglyceride and phospholipid anabolism. It is linked to appressorium formation, hyphal growth, sporulation, ascospore formation, sexual reproduction, autophagy, and fatty acid breakdown. Associations include turgor pressure, decreased spore germination, absent sporulation and meiosis, abnormal vacuolar distribution and nuclear export, increased polyploidy, and altered cell cycle progression. The protein localizes to the cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus.
