PDF1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoPDF1 (MGG_04920) on chromosome 3 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a palmitoyl-protein hydrolase 1, a member of the AB_hydrolase and Palm_thioest families with dolichyldiphosphatase and palmitoyl-protein hydrolase activity (EC 3.1.2.22). The gene is associated with defense response, protein N-linked glycosylation, RNA metabolism, secretion, and cell death, and its product localizes to the vacuole, ER, and ER membrane. Related genes in other species are linked to chlorophyll content, root length, and salt tolerance, as well as to Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum pathovars.
