ILV2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_03945 (ILV2) on chromosome 6 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an acetolactate synthase. The gene is annotated with acetolactate synthase activity, TPP binding, magnesium binding, and FAD or FADH2 binding, and localises to the mitochondrial lumen as part of the acetolactate synthase complex. It is associated with butanediol metabolism, valine anabolism, L-isoleucine anabolism, L-leucine anabolism, amino acid anabolism, homologous recombination, non-homologous end joining, and morphogenesis. Related genes in other species link the family to loss of pathogenicity, though this has not been established for MGG_03945 itself.
