MFS1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_10598, designated MFS1 on chromosome 7 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15, encodes a major facilitator superfamily (MFS) profile domain-containing protein with transmembrane transporter activity. The product is associated with the plasmalemma. Related genes in other species include those involved in pigment export (ausY, vioT) and toxin secretion (TP, ptmT, roqT, phomT, cdmB, astH). In this rice blast fungus, MFS1 is associated with processes underlying fungal growth and disease development, though its specific transported substrate remains uncharacterized.
