SNC1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_12614 (MoSNC1) on chromosome 7 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a V-SNARE coiled-coil homology domain-containing protein associated with syntaxin binding and SNARE complex formation. The gene is linked to vesicle fusion, protein secretion, intracellular protein transport, and localization. It is associated with host invasion, invasive growth, hyphal growth, and interaction with the host, as well as with lipid A and ergosterol anabolism, lipid homeostasis, and NO storage. Associations include abnormal sporulation efficiency, delayed sporulation, decreased autophagy and pexophagy rates, altered adhesion, and abnormal endocytosis, Golgi distribution, and vesicle distribution. The product localizes to the SNARE complex, plasma membrane, Golgi, endosome, cytoplasm, cell tip, cell division site, and meiotic spindle pole. Related genes in other species link the family to potassium concentration and oxidative stress response.
