MYCGR3G105487 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

Mg1LysM (MYCGR3G105487) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 8 encodes a protein with lytic endotransglycosylase activity, PAMP receptor decoy activity, and chitin binding. The product belongs to the LysM domain superfamily. This gene is associated with effector-mediated suppression of host pattern-triggered immunity and PTI signalling, as well as asexual sporulation and sporulation. The protein localises to the host intracellular space, host apoplast, and extracellular region. Related genes in other species link this gene family to fungal pathogenesis and host immune evasion.
