MYCGR3G107010 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G107010 (symbol bir1) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 1 encodes a protein containing Baculoviral IAP and BIR repeat domains, with metal-binding molecular function. The gene is associated with cell cycle modulation, mitotic chromosome segregation, mitotic sister chromatid biorientation, regulation of mitotic cytokinesis, cell division, cell death, signaling, and virus-induced PTGS. Its product localises to the nucleus, cytoplasm, chromatin, kinetochore, mitotic spindle, mitotic and meiotic spindle midzones, centric heterochromatin, and the CPC complex. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar chromosome segregation and cell division processes, though these functions are not yet established for Z. tritici.
