DEF1 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoDEF1 (MGG_14558) on chromosome 1 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a protein containing a SANT/Myb domain, a homeobox-like superfamily domain, and is associated with the SET3C complex. The gene is annotated to biological processes including host invasion, invasive growth, and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to SANT domain-containing and MYB DNA-binding domain proteins, as well as to corepressor and kinetochore-associated domains.
