ABC2 — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MoABC2 (MGG_14778) on chromosome 2 of Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes an ABC-type oligopeptide transporter with ATP-coupled transmembrane transporter activity, ATP hydrolase activity, and ATP binding, belonging to the type 1 exporter and ABC1 transmembrane domain families. The gene is associated with mitochondrial inner membrane and plasmalemma localisation, and is linked to host invasion, invasive growth, morphogenesis, autophagy, secondary metabolism, cell wall biogenesis, signal transduction, and siRNA-mediated post-transcriptional gene silencing. It is also associated with oxidative and hypoosmotic stress resistance, vacuolar morphology, pexophagy, cell cycle progression, endocytosis, and fermentative metabolism. Related genes in other species link the family to mitochondrial oligopeptide export and membrane transport processes.
