GRR1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoGRR1 (MGG_13065) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an SCF E3 ubiquitin ligase complex F-box protein, serving as a ubiquitin ligase substrate adaptor with ligase activity. The gene is associated with SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein breakdown, proteolysis, and protein breakdown. It is also associated with innate immunity, the metabolic burst, pigmentation, ascospore formation, and response to oxidative stress. The product localises to the SCF complex, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. MoGRR1 is also linked to turgor pressure. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to reduced virulence and rice blast disease.
