MYCGR3G107640 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G107640, designated FUS3 in Zymoseptoria tritici on chromosome 1, encodes a protein with serine/threonine kinase activity and ERK1-type mitogen-activated protein kinase features, including ATP binding and a dual-specificity kinase domain. The gene is associated with diverse biological processes such as regulation of seed maturation, pigment accumulation, mRNA processing, spliceosomal complex assembly, mating behavior, cell-cell fusion, chemotropism, asexual sporulation, HOG response, autolysis, and meiotic exit. It localizes to the spliceosome complex, mitotic spindle pole body, cell division site, cytoplasm, cytosol, and nucleus. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to MAP kinase signaling (EC 2.7.11.24), oxidative stress, sporogenesis, and vivipary.
