CUT1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_01943 (CUT1) on chromosome 6 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a cutinase, an extracellular enzyme with cutinase activity (EC 3.1.1.74) that belongs to the cutinase/axe and alpha/beta hydrolase families. This gene is associated with carbohydrate breakdown and sporulation. Related genes in other species are linked to effector and apoplastic effector functions, as well as to storage rot and pathogenicity.
