BRLA — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_12958 (MoBRLA) on chromosome 3 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor that binds sequence-specific DNA in cis-regulatory regions and acts as an RNA polymerase II transcription factor. This gene is associated with appressorium formation, penetration peg formation, development of the symbiont in the host, and immune evasion. It is also linked to mating behavior, parasexual conjugation with cellular fusion, sporocarp development in sexual reproduction, regulation of pseudohyphal and filamentous growth, and phenotypic switching. Associations include cellular responses to nutrients, calcium ions, starvation, and oxidative stress, as well as regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis and biofilm formation. The encoded protein localizes to the nucleus, cytoplasm, membrane, and chromatin, and is found in Tec1p-Ste12p-Dig1p and Ste12p-Dig1p-Dig2p complexes.
