ORF3 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_08381 (ORF3) on chromosome 2 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a protein with isomerase activity (EC 5.5.1.-) and is annotated as mycB. The gene is associated with host invasion and secondary metabolism. Studies of related genes in other species, such as pyiF, gkaB, and ccsF, link the broader family to various metabolic processes, though these associations are not established for ORF3 itself. Sequence similarity also connects the family to traits like plant height, and to related genes in other species, but these are distant relationships.
