CDA1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoCDA1 (MGG_05828) on chromosome 3 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a chitin deacetylase 1, a protein with chitin deacetylase activity, hydrolase activity acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds, chitin binding, identical protein binding, and metal binding. It belongs to the NodB domain and glycosyl hydrolase/deacetylase beta/alpha-barrel families. The gene is associated with chitin metabolism, ascospore wall assembly, hyphal growth, carbohydrate metabolism, and cell division. Its product localizes to the ascospore-type prospore, cytosol, and nucleus.
