ARA1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_06954 (symbol ARA1) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a Zn2Cys6 fungal-type transcription factor with DNA-binding and transcription regulatory activity. The protein localises to the nucleus and is associated with positive regulation of RNA polymerase II transcription and DNA-dependent transcription. The gene is also linked to galactose breakdown. ARA1 has been connected to blast disease in rice (Oryza sativa) and barley (Hordeum vulgare). Related genes in other species, including Verticillium dahliae and Fusarium oxysporum pathovars, encode Zn(2)-C6 fungal-type domain-containing proteins.
