TOR — Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15

Summary

MGG_15156 (TOR, MoTOR) in Magnaporthe oryzae 70-15 encodes a protein with a serine/threonine-protein kinase domain, protein kinase activity including histone H2A kinase activity, and belongs to the phosphatidylinositol 3/4-kinase catalytic domain superfamily. It is associated with the TOR complex and TORC1, and is linked to the regulation of cell development, autophagic cell death, and the positive regulation of cytoplasmic translation and DNA replication. The gene is associated with traits including turgor pressure and protein content, and with phenotypes such as increased virulence, abnormal spore germination, absent sporulation efficiency, and altered cell cycle progression through the G1/S phase transition. It is also associated with the regulation of snRNA pseudouridine synthesis and ascus development.
