MYCGR3G15904 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G15904 (PR1, also known as RRT12) on Zymoseptoria tritici chromosome 6 encodes a serine-type endopeptidase (protease) belonging to the Peptidase_S8 family. The gene is associated with host invasion, spore germination, hyphal growth, sporulation, and proteolysis, and its product localises to the extracellular space and vacuole. It is also linked to cell cycle processes. Studies of related genes in other species, including subtilisin-like proteases and the yeast YCR045C, connect the family to alkaline serine protease activity (EC 3.4.21.63) and, in some cases, to unaffected pathogenicity.
