MYCGR3G30987 — Zymoseptoria tritici

Summary

MYCGR3G30987, designated TAR1, encodes a TAR1 family protein on chromosome 7 of Zymoseptoria tritici. The gene is associated with tetrapyrrole metabolism, regulation of cellular respiration, photosynthesis, mitochondrial gene expression, and methylation. It has also been linked to asexual reproduction, sporulation, secretion, chromatin modeling, cell division, and cell growth. The encoded product localises to mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the TAR1 family to mitochondrial function, though this has not been established for the Z. tritici gene.
