MYCGR3G101160 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G101160, symbol PAT1 on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 9, encodes a Pat1-like protein with RNA-binding activity. The gene is associated with numerous mRNA-related processes including deadenylation-dependent decapping, nonsense-mediated decay, P-body assembly, and regulation of translation. It is also linked to meiotic cell cycle phases (G2, meiosis II), chromosome segregation, syngamy, and sexual reproduction. Additional associations include rDNA maintenance, thiamin anabolism, response to starvation, and nuclear movement. The protein localises to P-bodies, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the PAT1 family to oxidative stress tolerance.
