MYCGR3G101079 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MFS1 (MYCGR3G101079) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 8 encodes a transmembrane transporter protein belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), with a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter domain. The gene is annotated to transmembrane transporter activity and localises to the plasmalemma and membrane. MFS1 is associated with secondary metabolism, a biological process term annotated on this gene. Studies of related genes in other species link the MFS family to the transport of secondary metabolites and virulence factors, though these associations are not established for MFS1 itself. The gene is also connected to the RTA1 domain family through sequence similarity in related species.
