ADN2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoADN2 (MGG_04708) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a LisH domain-containing protein with transcription coactivator activity. The gene is associated with flocculation, biofilm formation, pseudohyphal growth, spore formation, filamentous growth, and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, and its product localises to the nucleus. It has been connected to blast disease in rice (Oryza sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Related genes in other species link the family to altered virulence, including both increased and reduced virulence.
