ABC2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoABC2 (MGG_08918) on chromosome 2 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an ATP-binding cassette sub-family G member 2, a membrane-localised ABC transporter with ATP hydrolase activity. The gene is associated with host invasion, invasive growth, morphogenesis, cell wall biogenesis, autophagy, signal transduction, secondary metabolism, and regulation of cell growth. It is linked to siRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing, transposition, retrotransposition, and translation elongation. Phenotypic associations include altered oxidative and osmotic stress resistance, abnormal vacuolar morphology and distribution, increased pexophagy, decreased endocytosis, abnormal cell cycle progression, and changes in fermentative metabolism and entry into stationary phase. Related genes in other species are linked to oxidative stress response and leaf morphology traits.
