SSA1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoSSA1 (MGG_06958) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a member of the Hsp70 family of molecular chaperones, possessing ATP hydrolase activity, ATP binding, heat shock protein binding, and protein folding chaperone functions, and also annotated as a transcriptional co-regulator. The gene is associated with protein folding and refolding, ribosome biogenesis and its regulation, autophagy and macroautophagy, sumoylation, dephosphorylation, protein breakdown, and protein synthesis. It is linked to appressorium formation, hyphal growth, asexual reproduction, innate immunity, the ER stress response, osmotic and cellular osmotic responses, and the cellular response to farnesol. Localisation evidence connects the product to the cytoplasm, cytosol, nucleus, plasma membrane, fungal-type cell wall, and extracellular region. Phenotypic associations include increased thermotolerance, premature apoptosis, altered cell cycle progression, abnormal spore germination, and altered recovery.
