YVC1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_06118 (YVC1) in Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 on chromosome 3 encodes a protein with an ion transport domain and is annotated with sodium, potassium, calcium, and voltage-gated ion channel activities, as well as calcium-activated cation channel activity. The gene is associated with calcium ion homeostasis, calcium ion import into the cell, calcium signaling, signal transduction, flocculation, appressorium formation, and invasive growth. The encoded product localizes to the fungal-type vacuole membrane, the vCLAMP, and the plasmalemma. Related genes in other species are linked to reduced virulence.
