GAS2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_02253 (GAS2) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a cell surface protein belonging to the Egh16-like family. The gene is associated with appressorium formation, the MAPK cascade, signal transduction, glucose and carbohydrate metabolism, nuclear import, and meiosis, and its product localises to the cytoplasm. GAS2 is also linked to blast disease in rice (Oryza sativa). Studies of related genes in other species connect the Egh16-like family to apoplastic effector activity, with sequence similarity to proteins from Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum.
